The light that once poured from my eyes is now flickering
The butterflies turned to moths
Deep breaths became shallow
Rotation of the Earth seemed to have slowed
The roots I felt were holding me down-Ripped from the soil
There was no lesson to be learned
The absolute worst part
Was constantly having you behind my eyelids
In the back of my ruined/ head
Knowing that I love (ed) you
While you had the same
Instead they were filled with a stranger
Who betrayed and left debris
Who left the walls scattered
And the roof thrown far away
Only to let the contents of my home suffer
While I lay in silence
Knowing I had to leave
Knowing
I could never live there again
There was no lesson to be learned
II
I am still ruined
Reverting to thoughts of that broken home
The doors were locked
So, I came in through the broken window
Just to look around through debris
Sift through memories of ash
Walk through halls that once held life
It’s bitter and freezing
Haunted, to say the least
I resent myself for taking the time
To revisit the shared vision
I held on through the storm
Tried to hold together all that I could
I’m not enough
With roots ripped from this soil, this house is no god damn home
Move on
There is nothing left for us here
Move on… There was nothing left for me there
Move on… There's nothing
Move on… There was no lesson to be learned
