I Never Wanted Us

I never wanted us to work
There was less pain to be had from death than birth

Time has passed
Since that photograph
Look at us laugh
It hurts

I never wanted us to fall in love
I had only one heart and it was more than heavy enough
Time has passed
Since that photograph
Look at us laugh
It hurts
What shall I be
When there is no we
Only me
That hurts

The love-shaped hole in this broken heart
Is still bleeding, has not yet scarred

I never wanted us to even meet
We're surrounded by gods, how can I compete

Time has passed
Since that photograph
Look at us laugh
It hurts
What shall I be
When there is no we
Only me
That hurts
