Really, this is all you leave me with?

panic attacks

insomnia

a you-sized hole

as I try to piece back together my life

Really, this is all you leave me with?

long nights

red eyes

I'm in the middle of class

but it's you on my mind

Really, this is all you leave me with?

can't sleep

don't eat

can't even cross the street

without tears filling my eyes

Really this is all you leave me with?

you move one

but I'm stuck in the past

my mind can't grasp what changed

while you pretend I was never a part of your life
