if you can live without me,
maybe I can, too.
live without you, that is.
maybe I can find a home
in the darkness I roam
while searching for the
girl you broke.
yes – I should build her a home
instead of a tombstone.
I think she would like that.
because, if you can
find yourself after us,
if you can shake off the rust
and run far enough away
to find somewhere you belong,
somewhere safe
for you to stay,
maybe I can, too.
if you can survive the dark night,
stay alive just long enough
to be revived by sunlight,
maybe I can, too.
if you can become
someone better than
the person I loved,
maybe I can, too.
if you can learn
to love someone else
with the same heart
that couldn’t love me,
maybe I can learn
to love myself
in your stead.
because,
if you
of all people
can learn to love,
maybe I can, too.
