i used to love you

hanging by a string
in your tattered mind
my everything
i made you crawl
on the splintered floor
as you sputtered words in that silly drawl

there was no hole in my heart to fill
just untied sutures
that i placed at will
as i stripped your fears
the emotions flowed
streaming down your face in a world of tears

so the questions stand
as we move away
from our unfilled plans
your mind submerged
i leave you now
completely purged

no looking back
as the distance grows
on the words we lacked
no matter now what you choose to do
just read these words
i used to love you
