I Miss You

I miss you. Not in some abstract 'like the desert misses the rain' type of thing, but its not a memory of a lust fuelled type of fling. I'm not gonna be moist and say that I was complete when I was with you, but girl, even after everything that's been said and done i still miss you. You were the comfy sofa I lay my heart on when I came home, you were the warm fire I huddled closer to when the world turned cold. With you behind me i could afford to suddenly be bold. The world seemed a world seemed a wonderful place, laid out before me, all the grimy edges disguised with flowery lace. But slowly that lace unravelled, and so did we. It left me thinking about all the roads we left un-travelled. Now I'm left thinking of what we thought we would be. How we used to make own world that we'd pretend that no one could see. Who betrayed who is simply a point of perspective, the ins and outs of it, like anything, are objective. But like the fire I compared your love to, it started of blazing, but died down low. We thought our love was eternal, but the hell do we know? I let my thoughts of you drift away in the hazy smoke I blew, and tried to let go of my longing for the feelings I knew. I tried my hardest not to turn cold and bitter, but it's like I left my heart home alone without a baby sitter. When I came back, it was sitting in the wreckage screaming 'treat em mean, keep em keen! And stop cutting them some slack' and I honestly tried. But whenever it was time to play my heart would run and go hide. And I tried to seek, but it's convinced it's future will be bleak. Even though your a bitch I still miss you. And when I put my life back together you were still the glue.
