If I said I didn’t love you
Then you’d know I was lying
With my last breath I’ll hold in everything that we had
And slowly let it out.
At this point if there’s anything left to say let me know
I never meant to hurt you, but you already know that
And it doesn’t matter anyway
We build castles to knock them down
We build bridges to burn them away.
If I fought for you I’d surely lose.
You know I’d do it anyway
Second chances never hurt anyone except for us
All those glances shot in vain
Didn’t bring us any closer to the truth
The failure of words is mans greatest downfall
We call on drawn out metaphors because the closest we can get to explaining an emotion is to say what it is like
“love isn’t like anything especially a fucking knife”
In you I saw the place I thought I could call home
But what I didn’t realize was that there wasn’t enough room for me and all my skeletons
Clinging to me like second life
A choice I never got to make
A decision I had no part of
A life I never wanted
Hush
Don’t speak
The words only clutter this perfect silence
The last moment we have before I say goodbye
And you say be careful
And I tell you not to forget about me
But I forgot to tell you
To keep loving me
Perfect sunsets bring perfectly disastrous sunrises.
