The door remains closed
As it was long since you left
And I’m still broken from the remains of your breath
That shattered me to this dying state I am now in
You say you will free me from it
You say you can liberate it
But you won’t say you love me like I love you
And it kills me to think of what i do when you aren't here
i can barely stand myself speak when the silence stretches deep into the night and through the days
I look at your photograph and need to scream
something within me pleads to run away from all this mess  and tell the world I've had enough
because all i ever see when i look at your picture is a face of bent promise
and fake resentment, almost a longing to collide with realities deep emotions
it looks like you have no place in the world, like you are too lost to understand or trust yourself
and that makes me want to scream even louder
because the screeching reality is that when you don't trust yourself how the hell am i meant to trust you?
Or myself.
I wish i could just explain this but all i do when i try is mumble words of white lies
and i want you to see through them
but you dont
and im lost in my silent world once again
