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 to 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.
