I lost count of how many times
I've had people slip out of
my grasp—be it because of me
or a mistake that tore us apart—
it's bound to happen eventually
and like I realized it—
it doesn't get any easier
—you just get used to it

I lost count of how many lives
I wished I had and how many pains
I longed to remove from my system
—be it because of me being trapped
in a hole I dug myself or because of
a shortcut I took thinking it would
get me to the better things—
it doesn't get any easier
—you just get used to it

I lost count of how many pieces
of me I lost with every grief
I've yet to face—be it from a time
missed and gone or from a promise
uttered yet broken—it's bound to
happen because it's the truth of life
we don't yet know—
it doesn't get any easier
—you just get used to it

I lost count of how many deaths
I lived through with time leeching
off my youth and my will to keep going
—be it because of the race I keep running
only to fail or the plain anxiety of
having to suffer day by day—
it doesn't get any easier
—I just got used to it
