used to



The night sky used to bring me happiness and peacefulness, but now it’s just regret thinking how i could have helped you.

We used to lie awake talking about nothing but also everything, but now i lie awake looking across my bed hoping to see you looking back at me.

I used to feel like i had everything that i was complete but you robbed me of myself i don’t even feel like me anymore.

I used to wake up excited with the thought of seeing you, but now thinking of seeing you fills me with dread because all that’s left of you is a pointless stone.
