Alone

Only late nights can sway her
that ever-ago smell sinking into her lonliness
she can push away the last few weeks
and forget who he's become
turn her life back into
an endless pitt of deadend dreams
brin back his plaid shirts
sweet smiles and accidental compliments
bring back hours of fake happiness
sunshine and bus rides to no where
just so she can have two more minutes
with him in the paradise she made for them
just two more minutes
so she knows she's not alone
even though she is
she pushed him so far away
she cant ever bring him back
for good and she knows it

I loved this, especially the line "an endless pit of deadend dreams"

Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
