Some escape some door to open
This path seems the blackest but I
Guess it's the soonest
But there in the clearing I
Know you'll be wearing
Your young aching smile and
Waving your hand
Can't go with my heart when I
Can't feel what's in it I
Thought you'd come over
But for some reason you didn't
Glass on the pavement under my shoe
Without you is all my life amounts to
A final sleep no
Words from my cutting
Mouth to your ear or
Taut wicked pinches
From my fingers to your bitter face
That I can't heal
I know tomorrow
You will be
Somewhere in London
Living with someone
You've got some kind of family
There to turn to
And that's more than I could ever give you
A chance for calm
A hope for freedom
Outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
By the forest of our spring stay
Where you walked away
And left a bleeding part of me
Empty and bothered
Watching the water
Quiet in the corner
Numb and falling through
Without you what does my life amount to
This path seems the blackest but I
Guess it's the soonest
But there in the clearing I
Know you'll be wearing
Your young aching smile and
Waving your hand
Can't go with my heart when I
Can't feel what's in it I
Thought you'd come over
But for some reason you didn't
Glass on the pavement under my shoe
Without you is all my life amounts to
A final sleep no
Words from my cutting
Mouth to your ear or
Taut wicked pinches
From my fingers to your bitter face
That I can't heal
I know tomorrow
You will be
Somewhere in London
Living with someone
You've got some kind of family
There to turn to
And that's more than I could ever give you
A chance for calm
A hope for freedom
Outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
By the forest of our spring stay
Where you walked away
And left a bleeding part of me
Empty and bothered
Watching the water
Quiet in the corner
Numb and falling through
Without you what does my life amount to

I remember it was the 23rd of December 2021, it was me and her laying on her bed looking at the ceiling as if we were looking at the stars, here where I live it\'s too cloudy to ever see stars during the Winter. I had asked her if she wanted to listen to music and I introduced her to the last song I would have ever shown her, it was Katy song. As soon as I heard the guitar melody I knew neither of us would be okay at the end, our situation was so complex like a math equation you spend hours working on but you just can\'t get the answer, truth is it\'s right in front of you it\'s all supposed to make sense but for some reason it didn\'t. One thing I wish I knew when laying down with her is that I wish I knew this would be the last time I ever saw her, I was so clueless not knowing what was bound to happen the day after, but at this moment it didn\'t matter, hearing this song play in the background subconsciously explaining our situation we had at that moment is all we needed before a goodbye, we felt at peace. The day after she did something that made me realize I couldn\'t stay hurting my self and waiting for someone that can\'t be with me, so I said goodbye. I don\'t know where you are, or what you\'re doing right now Vanessa, but I know life will be good to you, even if it won\'t be for me, I love you.
@Dylan_Barrera \r\n\r\nI understand what you\'re going through. This was in July. My world came crashing down at the time. Now it\'s the new year, and although I am better, it still hurts, and there is still love. I recommend the song PPP by Beach House if you haven\'t listened to already.
