Let Me Have It

I'll say things are OK
And you'll leave it alone
You can't see beyond your lens
And you don't ever try

Feel myself in your archives
Dissolved into dust
Brushed off of the edges
None of it was enough

I painted pretty pictures
Romcoms on my couch
And now the whole thing is gone

Nothing is the same
Everything has changed
Nothing is the time

How long till you feel guilty
Wonder what you did wrong
Wonder what you could've done better
If the wondering comes at all

Don't see the error now
Only the blind-happy paths of your love
Don't consider the casualties
Former iterations of us
All the trails lit by sun
That I no longer see

Thought this would define a lifetime
Carried on through the years
But you gave it away to chase a feeling
This grief is all that's left
So let me have it
Cuz you weren't there when I needed you

Had to give up on the thing I thought would keep me afloat
Had to let go of the person I thought grounded me most
With my eyes closed it still feels like love
When I can't see the vacancy between us

Thought this would define a lifetime
Carried on through the years
But you gave it away to chase a feeling
This grief is all that's left
So let me have it
Cuz you weren't there when I needed you
