humans are like pigeons.
hold too tight; they'll hate you for keeping them caged.
give them too much freedom; they'll forget about you

i threw a knife at ,my window instead of my heart
it was selfish really, to break something else
so that i don't fall apart.

Now that you're gone
it feels like a weight has been
lifted off my chest.

But now that the weight is gone,
corrosive emptiness replaces it
acid settles into the barren patch of my heart.

In hindsight, if i were given the option
of weight or emptiness,
I would choose weight.
But it's too late.

you're putting this love in danger
by treating me like a stranger

The pain,
alone with the memories of you,
have both faded away to a distant blur.

Your melody lured me in,
i lost myself in the bittersweet euphony.
But when i got close enough to hear the words,
they were like nothing the tune promised.
Full of anger and wrath,
you trapped me in your chorus.
