Life Contradicts Itself.

The habitual tendencies I once had are again starting to take over me.
What we once had was too much to ask for. But then again, who was asking?
We all knew how that would end before it even began. And look where it got us.
Everything was just as suspected. You were the only thing holding me up.
When you left the lights dimmed out and the ground crumbled under me.
Time is slowing and the blood in my veins is running out. You know.
You can't bear the fact that you're the cause of all this misery.
Letting other people's opinions affect your own hadn't been one of your faults,
Until that day when the world ended. And the last sound I heard was your voice.
This has just turned out to be a nightmare that repeats itself over and over again.
The "I love you"'s always result with me being broken in the end.
I'm skipping over certain parts for my own convenience.
Parts like the mistake I made, which in reality, wasn't a mistake at all.
Along with the blood running down my arms as you say what I feared the most.
Do you remember last night? "Soon" was what you said.
But the time is running out faster than you can guess.
I'm trying so desperately to fix this. Lying out under the stars with him,
All I ever see is your face. I can't even give it my all and try to live without you.
When the reality is, living with you is actually the part that's killing me.
My corset is being laced up tighter, stealing my last bit of air;
Holding in the broken pieces of my body.
You see, this is one thing that time can't fix. Nor can duck tape and safety pins.
My brokenness has finally gotten the better of me, and become permanent.
We'll make believe that everything is alright, and try to make the best out of this.
But the situation won't get any better. I died trying to live.
