gotta live until you die

there was so much i wanted to say
that needed to be said
but in reality, the words lacked depth

and not enough could fill in the holes
in the blanks
and sentences with fragments

i needed her
not want
but like i had to have her

and these are just filler
nothing compared to the feeling of her
curled up inside

curled up beside
i want to feel that love
that right now is just distance

come home from nashville
the city lights cant break apart my insistence
they can fill cracks

but never with what you left me.
