You
deserve
love
more
than
those
stars
you
love
to
cherish

Driving home
with 7 inebriated
at 2:30 in the morning
makes me question
what I am there for
As a man who does not
drink. smoke. do drugs.
curse
I am no more than no one
in this band of drunks
seeing how their night ends
I wonder why I was even there
more so why I even cared
to even bring them home
as it pains me to say that
it hurts to see them
break. crush. suffer.
from whatever escape
they tried to pull
I wondered why
I am like this
a man who cared
for people who never did

You were
the
tomorrow
I looked
forward to

Getting close to people
half-heartedly
will only give you suffering
but alas, sadly
so does getting closer

Maybe, that's why
if one day we do
I would yearn for you
more than I should
it frightens me
to my very core
that you'd leave me
like the rest would

Darkness exists
to make the light count
That's why stars
shine brightest
in the dark
