every lie you said is swirling in my head
every time you walked out
screamed you'd never come back
I always waited for you like some depressed old dog
Tied to a supermarket bike rack whimpering for the one he cares about most to return
I tried to suture every wound you came to me with, pulling out my own muscle fibers to use when words weren't strong enough to convince you not to walk the tightrope of your addictions to escapism, because why, why would you walk away when I tore myself in two and went insane just to make you smile, to make you not think the world is full of horrible evil?
All I ever saw in you was the sun.
All you ever saw in me was not enough.
