sleepless nights

[mattpilgreen]

your dusty picture
on the window sill
I'm holding myself
because no one else will
and I choke
on every breath
my arms are crossed
around my chest
I'm trying to forget
you were the best
...time
but I'll be fine
I'll sever all these ties
be it upon my head
or before my eyes
no more sleepless nights
and no more lies

my wrists are burning
they're still black and blue
from the strings that held
my hands, instead of you
and I'm down
on every day
I stumbled out
these words to say
I'm not sad
you decided not to stay
...mine
and I'll be fine
I'll sever all these ties
be it upon my head
or before my eyes
no more sleepless nights
and no more lies

believe...
you will be grieved
but I'm sure you will agree
that it took too long to leave
and me...I'll be fine
I'll sever all these ties
be it upon my head
or before my eyes
no more sleepless nights
and no more lies
