Will you?

I’m a wreck.

Don’t make me beg.

Won’t you just check,

on me?

I’m a wreck.

It makes me sick,

that your hands aren’t the ones on my neck.

Won’t you just check,

on me?

I’m a wreck.

It’s no accident,

Won’t you just check,

on me?

Strength.

Look at what you did.

I was just a stupid kid.

I let you hold me.

I let you grope me.

I thought it was love,

but it was just lonely.

I let you hurt me.

I let you burn me.

I thought it was love,

but I was wrong.

All along, it was making me strong.

Small City.

Millions of people but the city feels too small for us both.

I drive up the coast,

and try to get lost in the country,

I’m looking for the place where you might still love me.

I ask for directions,

I even buy a map.

At a rest stop in Texas,

it hits me,

it’s a wrap,

and that’s that.

Cheesecake.

Over a slice of cheesecake, I’m reminded of all of the love we didn’t get to make.

Over a slice of cheesecake, I’m reminded of all of the sweetness we didn’t get to taste.

Over a slice of cheesecake, I’m reminded of all of the pictures we didn’t get to take.

Over a slice of cheesecake, I’m reminded of heartache.

In a field of sunflowers.

In a field of sunflowers,

I let you go.

In a field of sunflowers,

I let the hurt flow.

In a field of sunflowers,

I grieve and I grow.

In a field of sunflowers,

I begin to glow.

In a field of sunflowers,

I let you go.

–S.
