Breathing Sighs

You'd think I would have noticed when your laughter became distant, when your words 

became heavier on my mind

But I was too strong from the past to notice the extra weight

And I ignored it because I thought this was fate

But I put too much faith in you, or rather who you used to be

or rather in myself

I thought I was better than I used to be

But the more we yell and argue and fight, I see that nothing I thought was right

I'm just a fragile girl living in pale skin and green eyes and breathing sighs

I promised to be your light, but you never promised you'd never blow it out

And now it's dark and I can't see who we used to be
