jan18.

at last, I had to give it up

never wanted to do harm

I do my best

You must remember

I mean well

 

 

 

 

I don’t want to leave you

That’s all I could say

My life went on

Suspicion closed in

She gave it up

I will never let him in again

 

Life was always easy

In or out

 

i’ve got a bad desire


 

I let your soul drop water into my back in my purple bath and sometimes I can’t help but let you in and consume me but every time I do it I see your soul a little clearer and I’m scared to hear what he has to say once he’s strong enough to speak to me because i’m not ready for that and honestly i don’t think you are ready for me and what i have to offer because i have learnt so much this past while and I now know that you need my fingertips grazing across your back at night to help you sleep and i now know that you need to see the world and i now know how to see new places and how to find home in everywhere I go and I’m so sorry that you don’t get to feel this with me but then again I can’t apologize to the one who turned away.


 

 

distance > conclusion

I feel you leaving

But this feeling isn’t new

You’re like a boomerang

But your distance is getting further

And maybe one day

You will not return

 


 

And i’m unsure of the reason why the responsibility of your self-love fell onto my shoulders but

i can’t make you love yourself

 

and to expect me to give that satisfaction to you is unreal

and the fact you blame me for your self-hatred is unreal

 

i am me

you are you

 

‘i hope you’re happy’

i hope you realize how self indulged you are.

 

poly

you would like it everything I wrote was about you

and i guess I feel the same about you

 

I’d like to think that my lips are the only ones you think about kissing

 

But i don’t think the day will come,

the day you decide you only need one.

give me a new mentality

I feel like a barn in an abandoned field

They’re just waiting for me to collapse so they can rebuild

And Jake,
I rang that church bell on my way home but when you’re alone
it rings differently

 

Of all the people I chose to spend my time with I don’t think
I spent enough time with you
