sticks and stones

everyone tells me
what does not kill you
makes you stronger

well sticks and stones
can break my bones
but the words you spoke
ripped my life to shreds

they tell me that it is just
temporary and that I should
not lose any hope, but I know
that she was my hope

I don't want you anymore
I don't want me anymore
I don't want anything anymore
I just want us.
