You jumped just before
Everything collapsed here
And I couldn't see your eyes anymore
But I felt your fear
Like you were still laying on me
Proving you exist still
Your weight was so comforting
It felt like “forever”, but it was “until”
And I won't look at pictures
Because you never saw me at my best
I don't need to be reminded
There are echoes in my chest
And no matter how small I make my world
I am still trapped with myself here
And my circles lack momentum
The silence makes it so clear
I need to be swept off my feet
And stop spinning out until you come around
But I was so wrong about dying
You can still scream for years after you drown
And I know it's killing us both
Because I promised I wouldn't let this happen again
The pieces are all slipping apart
But I'm doing the best that I can
The first real photograph of a ghost
Displaying my death as a form of protection
I'm down to just one thing
So giving you up is out of the question
