Your neglect has managed to
Burst my heart into so many tiny pieces
That I was unable to recover all
The love that I bled out
I listen to your old songs about me
In hopes that I can feel that rush
I felt the first time that our eyes locked
Nothing could give me more joy
Than to feel
Remember when we had starry eyes
Our lips spoke poetry in every kiss
Remember when we had starry eyes
Our limbs resonated with music in every caress
I had a Kate Moss smile
Your nonchalance was so very James Dean
I read all the books you loved
If only to see the world from your perspective
My whole essence breathed you into me
I’ve never been the same again
There’s a hole in my chest
Where all my love for you resided
Remember when we had starry eyes
Our lips spoke poetry in every kiss
Remember when we had starry eyes
Our limbs resonated with music in every caress
What kills me
Is that I remember everything about our days
Together
What kills me
Is that I can’t recreate that feeling of starry eyes
With anyone else.
