Monsters - William Bonney

Salt stains on my shirtsleeves

From when you left

Poor me

(Our hearts!)

Beat at the same tone

(for years!)

Now they beat alone

(Breathe in!)

Pretend I’m okay

(Breath out!)

I am not okay

(Move on!)

The motions are the same

Toothpaste kisses haunt my nightmares

When I wake up, why aren’t you there?

There’s a fucking hole in my chest

You’re gone, I’m gone, there’s nothing left

Feel the weeks turn into months, remember I loved you once?

Who I knew has turned to dust, blown away and broke my trust

I wave goodbye to that, I wave goodbye to us

Salt stains on my shirtsleeves, you left and I found a new me

You left and I found a new me
