Quarantined

I painted a picture of perfection in the walls of your heart,

But you swore you couldn’t see it.

You gave me a fighting chance at true happiness

Only to rip it away from me like death does to life.

How can I go back to a place that doesn’t exist?

She used to let me go there but not anymore.

I haven’t exhaled in at least 3 weeks,

Not even after I watched all the chances I set up for you fail.

They say you can’t put a leg back onto a place where an arm has been,

The nerves won’t work right, like she won’t make you feel alive.

I need a place to go where I can hide all this information

To me, you were the reason to think god must be real.
