It Only Hurts When I Breathe

These poems are getting old
And these ideas are getting stale
But it’s the only way to make you see
It only hurts when I breathe

Within my heart there is a hole
And upon the surface there is a crack
The pain is something I cannot bare
It only hurts when I breathe

You are in all of my dreams
But I just want to forget
Everything to do with you
It only hurts when I breathe

I want to drown you in my tears
But that death would be too quick
You made me like this
It only hurts when I breathe

I wish I was as invisible
As you make me feel
None of this would’ve happened
It only hurts when I breathe

You made everything seem alright
But it was really so wrong
Now I can see right through you
It only hurts when I breathe

You think I’m alright
But behind this smile
Is everything you’ll never understand
It only hurts when I breathe

Excuse my while I fall apart
Please don’t flatter yourself sweetheart
You think this is all a game
It only hurts when I breathe

You don’t even acknowledge me
So I say byebye beautiful
Don’t bother to write
It only hurts when I breathe

Leave me alone
To pick up the pieces of myself
The person you crushed
It only hurts when I breathe
