My own world

I pack up my damaged heart,
every single piece cuts a little more.
I carry every open scar alone,
Try to put together everything that you tore.

I put all your things I remember,
In a box to put away for years,
Maybe it’ll gather dust
And I can forget about all these tears.

I’ll seal it shut with a binding red tape,
in hopes of containing painful memories,
Forgetting that you never quite felt the same,
I have to forget all that you are to me,

I can’t go on hoping one day you’ll see,
All that I can be for you,
Cause you’re my drug, present and tempting,
And every time you leave it’s harder to get through.

I fight and I struggle to let you go,
It gets harder every time I take you back,
Then when you walk away,
I’m reminded even more of what I lack.

I question every day whether
You ever felt anything for me,
Your words and your actions don’t add up,
Is there something I didn’t see?

I guess sometimes I just have to know,
What you feel isn’t always a guarantee,
But it’s ok because sometime, somewhere,
I know that you loved me.
