Us

I. 
The distance between 
our hearts is thick
but thin enough 
for you to break
with just one touch

I've been waiting
behind the distance
but you seem to 
want it there.

Is this love?


II. 
Inside
the loneliness is
killing me with each
breath of withdrawal

You're gone
I should have 
stopped you 
I should have 
stopped you

It's my fault
there's nothing
I can do
to hate you
instead of loving you
and hating myself


III.
Hurting still
I realize 
I can still be a princess
just not in your castle

My stars are dim
My brightest one 
still in your eyes
You're a thief 

Flames watered down
I'm still smoldering 
I will burn bright again
without you

I will be whole again
It's my turn to run
