10 minutes and you have returned home, 9 minutes I no longer feel alone, 8 minutes you evaluate your time away, 7 minutes you ask me if I've been ok, 6 minutes we have a joke & we play fight, 5...
I could'nt hear a word that you said. If you need to leave, then please go ahead. Don't wake me up, just leave me in bed I'll figure this out, after I'm dead. Was anything real, or just an idea.
Feeling kind of blue, I see you on the bed, Mother and my sister, Lying head-to-head. Enjoying time and laughing, Smiles and grins alight, Inside my chest my heart constricts: It suddenly feels tight.
Never any love, Not a tear shed for me. No 'warm and fuzzy feeling' that was surely meant to be.
#emotion. I know you can't love me. I know you know pain. But I'll take your forgiveness. Before I'm gone again. I know you don't know me. But I think I know you. For you are my blood.
It feels like only yesterday. I first saw your face. I never believed in love at first sight. But that put me in my place. I felt so young then. And to me you seemed old. But you held me in your arms.
It had been the first time they had been together since the beginning of the summer.
She told me she hurts herself when I'm not around. In the shape of hearts on her arms That night she went on holiday, Five years ago. She never told me why, Or what this meant, not a word.
We cross each other in the hall Strangers now in body and soul I have been consumed by chores He has been busy opening life's doors We are now strangers in bed It seems what we had is now held by a...
We smile. But not at each other. We laugh. But not together. We cry. To leave one another. We sleep. But not together. We listen. But never to each other. We talk. But to disagree with the other.
Pay attention, not gonna repeat myself. Seconds crawling, and the health. Of our relationship is going down. Now I'm hardly thinking bout you. You took a chance. Had our last dance.
I see us now but lost for words. I feel I have been stabbed with a thousand swords. I thought forever was our fate. So why is there so much hate. I thought our love was meant to be.
And just in that moment, you let every memory flood back to you. You're in the middle of a Skype call, he's telling you that you're beautiful, he's telling you how gorgeous your eyes are.
Where were u when I rode my bike without stabilisers. I'm sure u would have been proud too. Where were u when my cockatiel died. I'm sure u would have been sad too.
"I'm proud of you. Have I ever told you that?". My thoughts say once. My eyes stare back. You break down. I've seen you do it. So many times. Its truly sad. I lend my hand. You give it a squeeze.
I don't not want to hear it, I just simply can't. I'm immune to hearing all the bullshit, all the bullshit falling out of your lips. I'm immune to all the mean things you hope I hear.
I'm worn out; I just want to go to bed What's this all about; You getting stuck in my head.
Come on, Help me out. Can't you hear, My yelps and shouts. Come on, Get over here, You never come, Move your stupid rear. Come on, You're annoying me. I have a life, Can't you see. Come on.
You don't have to say a word You are lost in your own world And are you talking to these walls To make me seem worse Or to make yourself feel better about it all You will never know yourself cause...
You don't look at me the same any more, It's has been a lot different than before. Once we were close and you would talk to me everyday, now it just seems like you can't wait to get away.
I pull my body close to yours but feel nothing. Not warmth or repulsion. And I being to question the true beating of your heart. Was it an allusion.
How can we work things through. You just won't let me get close to you Boundaries and masks you put up Let me feel your inner love How can we ever get over this.
Staying up late with you, Is like looking up at the night sky, Our words outnumber the stars, Each syllable is a plane, And it flies like a blue bird, That's fat on worms.
I could not moved away. Yet I could not be beside you. It's the reason why our relationship is unclear. Because I want you enough not to be close to you. I want to be an arms length away.
