Please
Don't say it as a friend
Everytime you do
My heart sinks

Please
Don't remind me
That I can never
Have you

Please
Just don't say it at all
I can't hear it
Without breaking

You say you want me,
You say you need me,
You want me to have every part of you,
But you push me away,
There I stay,
Just as broken as your heart,
How Long will this last?

Nevermind....
Forget about this soul grind...
So much wasted energy on songs about stars..
So much imagination seep through these light scars..

Nevermind....
Was I so blind...?
I can't believe I created fractals of shadows and light for you..
I was blind and never saw things true..

Nevermind....
No more sad darkness, just shine..
I am free from all of this sadness..
I have found my way through all of this madness..

Nevermind....
Some of the time..
That I set aside for you..
I am one in my mind now and no longer two..

Nevermind....
I no longer feel confined..
Thank you for not missing me..
And showing me what I needed to see..

Time is a commodity, too.
We spend it recklessly on social media and snooze buttons,
constantly digging a rut of debt with our inattentive minds.

We trade so much for our each and every paycheck,
yet we don't flinch at the loss of minutes on a pocket watch,
so don't ask me where this world has gone.

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.
