Five Fingers
All at once there was nothing to be held
but the threads of everything that I used to have,
unraveling between my fingertips

I know I have to let go
Cause threads, held onto too tight
They cut

And holding onto things already half unraveled
Like a cardigan
Or a stupid beanie
Doesn't
make
sense.

Cause these things,
half gone,
as much as I wish it could
A cardigan or a beanie

    can
no longer  

                       keep
                              me

              
                                           warm

stealing kisses in empty classrooms
leaving the door unlocked,
with my head in your lap, your hand in my hair,
you untangled all of the knots.

you spoke to me about your past regrets
as I traced the veins on your arm,
I spoke to you about my past mistakes
as your fingers traced my palm.

I really don't know where we're headed
but I'll give you all my time,
you have my X's and O's and everything else
you have my heart and mind.

I love you with all I have
and I know you love me too.

I never wanted to love her,
as just did as my heart told me,
had little say in the matter.
Either way it doesn't matter.
In doing so I found the other half of me,
so now I would be lost without her.

I'm sorry I can't be everything you wanted
After everything you have been for me
I guess all I've done is cause disappointment and hurt
This is not how love should be.
I hope one day you find better
Someone who will cherish every inch of what you can give
I hope one day you'll forgive me for being so selfish
And maybe you can learn to love me different
And we can start anew
And maybe I'm just being naive
But please don't doubt that I have loved you

I guess you can call it lying
saying you’re fine when you’re not.
But it’s also a way of protecting
the dark spots on the mind that one got

You nod
As I explain myself
choking over my words and punctuating it with sniffles of
Guilt?
You understand and wipe my tears
As I explain myself
choking over the memories of us over the past few years and how I am bring us to
our
End
You cry
But you hold my hand through the whole thing
As I stare blankly into space trying not the look at the misery plastered over your face because I know
I am hurting you
Something I never meant to do.
You ask
For once you ask of me more than I ask of you
For some time. Just a little more.
I nod
Because I owe you that much.

´you should worry´ they all say.
´that boy needs to change´ i hear daily.
´but why´ i always ask them
i fell in love with this boy
and i don´t want him to change
for anything
or anyone.

i know we´re in a weird place
but i know it will work out
if not today
tomorrow
because i know
this thing we have
is something special
and
i´m in too deep now
to just give up.

i trust you
please don´t let me down
because then
all those people will tell me
´i told you so´
I don´t let anything or anyone but you change my opinion about you.
