There once was a man who carried the world
Then one day, along came a woman
Everybody knew her name
The day before she told him:
“You look so tired, carrying that. Let me take it from your shoulders”
Man appalled said, “What shall I do for you to take care of my burden?”
She answered sweetly
“You only had to answer me”
And then she took the world right from him
He walked away
Free that day
But what about the woman
That man, only called her Woman when telling this story
What was her name
Nobody can say
Man only called her Woman

When I first saw you
With your blonde colored hair
In your cheerleader uniform
And your milky white skin
I despised you
I wanted you gone
People told me terrible things making me loathe you

When I first spoke to you
Your strong smile
Kind words
Beautiful eyes
I was fake
I talked behind your back
I pretended to like you when I was barely tolerating you

When we first texted each other
I told only two people
One who disliked you, the other who didn't
I was ashamed of talking to you
Even just as acquaintances
As we spoke over the weeks, my friend spit sins
Speaking of those lies others did believe
Lies that I had believed

But then
After months of sweet conversation
In my worst summer ever
I forgot
I forgot to despise you
I forgot to loathe you
I forgot it was all an act
Forgot the first times
And I felt

The first time I felt for someone as beautiful as you
Now I look at you, a whole year from the first time
Wishing I had you in my arms
Wishing to love you

I don't trust
People have broke that
I don't open up my heart
People didn't listen to that
I don't follow
People have led me astray
I don't love
People took advantage of that

But here I am
Someone known for such a short time
I trust you
Like you are trustworthy
I open my heart up to you
Like you will always listen
I follow you
Even if we were to fall off a cliff
I love you
Like you had earned it

Here I am
Trusting
Sharing
Following
and Loving
Like I don't have anything to lose
As if I didn't learn before

Here giving my all to you
Like I never did before

He opens his heart
His soul to the world
His past experiences
His current pain
Trying to be heard

But nobody would listen
Nobody would read
Nobody opened his book
To his words

So his writings
Of his mind
Became unheard of

He became a wanting of relevance
Trying to be noticed
In the end he just became tortured
By the lost spilling of
His unheard words

The Dead succeed
This is known
They label your life as something good
No matter who you were
They call you successful
But this is not the case
When speaking of me

So what shall play
When I get buried

What shall be my worthy song
Representation of my life
A song about failure
A song about missed love

Who shall I be made as
Someone who chased hope
Failing at everything but reputation
I stand up for my mind
Fell in love with a girl
Lost my mother's heart
Along with my brothers

So what shall play
Over sad conversation
While I lay
In a velvet-lined casket
A song not yet made
A song not sung
A song to be made
I hope by the time I die there will be one

It's not made for a reason
Cause nobody has failed
Nobody broke trust
As nobody is that bad
And if there is one
One person in this world
Who has done what I have done
They won't write it as I hope

So as they tell of a happily lived life
A life free of lie
A golden human
They shall play no songs
They shall read my words
They speak the truth
Of a life now in the dirt

You are exploding, beating inside of me
Whenever we see she has answered our messages
My thoughts are clouded by the strength of you
I tried to tell you "calm down" but you are too drawn in
You are obsessed
My every waking moment
Thinking of her with a smile on my face
So happy I want to scream, I try putting our happiness into words
But when I think, I understand one thing
Someday you will break
The day will come when you shatter
We never felt this way
About anybody else
It's dangerous, my poor heart
You will eventually fail
She will find someone better
And it will just go downhill
So stop your excitement
Don't force me to write so many words
Don't bug her so much for attention
Don't talk about her every day
Don't ask to fix minor problems
Someday you will shatter
We can't take no more
Don't be so drawn in my heart
Because my head foresees
Someday
It will once again
Be
just you and me
