Kill Me

I wake up breathing
But it doesn't feel like air
I fake the mirror
Pretend there's someone there
Your voice still lingers
In my empty chest —
You left the world
But didn't leave the rest

The worst part isn't losing you
It's still being here without you

Kill me —
If I'm just surviving pain
If this is what love leaves behind
Let it end, don't let it remain
I scream your name into the dark —
But silence never screams back
Kill me —
Or give me you

I dress in colors
But everything turns grey
People laugh beside me —
I just look away
The world goes on like you were smoke
But I still choke on what you broke

Don't tell me I'll heal
Don't tell me to breathe
If this is living
Then kill me

Kill me —
If I'm just holding on to ghosts
If every heartbeat feels like cost
Then I've already lost
I don't want peace — I want you back
I don't want light — I want the black
Kill me —
Or give me truth
