There's a sense
Of something forlorn
Hiding in
Those eyes of yours

Have you ever been
On the edge of life and death?
And not cared
Which way you fell?

I'm
So
Tired
Of
Pretending

Are you deaf?
Did you not hear
When I told you to leave?

Are you blind?
Can't you see
How worthless I truly am?

Can you not smell?
The scent of defeat
Hovering around me?

Can you not taste?
The bitterness I leave
In your mouth?

Can you not feel?
The sharp edges
Of my shattered pieces?

Stay here

Just for tonight

Let us forget

Who we are

Allow me to

Hold you in my arms


Then when we awake

Let us part ways

And glance at each other

One last time

And go back to being

Who we're expected to be


For we both knew

You and I

Could never be
