I wish I could just put my life on hold
run to an unfamiliar place. Alone. Alone
I'd listen to the ocean kissing the coast
saltwater and alcohol, I'll drown your ghost
'til I'm barely alive, and I'm soaked to the bone
these times are the times that I miss you the most.

I pack up the ring from you 
Another broken promise
Like a severed circle you
Once placed upon my finger
A faux commitment 
One of many you’d make 
This with a metal
Many with your mouth
Some with your body 
Most with your words
Your comfort and unshakable
(Or so I thought) 
Love for me, endless 
I wish I could break this ring
Like you broke my heart 
Sell my sorrows 
Like you sold my gifts 
Nothing left of me in you
Everything of you left in me 
I’ll never have a love like you again
Friends say that’s a good thing
But I know better 
My heart is not a circle 
And it can’t be welded
Mended 
Fixed 
By anyone but you.
