the branches bend under the weight of your regret you sit perched, up on high, it should break instead though branches are there, i can't figure why we have all the while, to live and die

we're all ghosts of our former selves, haunting our sleep (can we still dream) when i could still run for days, in the summer heat (the rest is sleep) now all that's left is some hollow shell, some dried up leaves (can we break free) when i could still slide for days, on frozen concrete (just let me breathe)
