i build it up in my mind
so grand and tall and unreal
it rises as i stand on top
thrilling yet scary to feel

and when our time is cut short
and it becomes do or lie
i give you a hug
for the very last time

ousted from my safety
made to walk the plank
so off the tower i go
though i wanted to stay

you'd think i'd be crushed like a bug
but you see it's all in my head
so the time i could feel this way
could just never end

never needed one
so there is no floor
there is no you
not anymore

but if it's all my imagination
why don't i just fly away and forget
i wonder everyday
as i lose my sense of direction spiraling in the pit
in the pit that was knowing you
you might see the knife in my stomach
but you don't know how it feels
you want to pull it out cause you're scared
cause you don't know better and it's all too real
but that's the exact issue
you don't know how to deal
you don't know what i've been through
just want me miraculously healed

you'd watch me bleed out
after your lack of thinking
and leave me for dead
in your hurry of fleeing
the scene of judgment
it's just me bleeding
cause you don't know anything at all
yet you stick to preaching
how are you scared of the consequences you set in motion
how hypocritical is it to cry as you accuse me of over-emotion
hope you had a ****** day
know that's really ****** to say
but if i can't play an active role
and have to make sense of all this pain

then i think it's okay
to hope you have a ****** day
it's been dark a couple months now
and my sunshine through the rain

is hoping you're having an even ******* day
that my absence ruins your means of escape
thinking 'she should be here'
and remembering you pushed me away

that everytime things are looking up
you feel a bit ashamed
it didn't have to be this way
i already had enough on my plate

so yeah it's hateful of me
but what else can i say
i won't do anything to make it happen
but i hope you've been having some ******* days
if breathing is a choice
and my hope is to love
i wonder if my honest effort
would be enough

what if everything i ever wanted
was just out of reach
but what if i just lived
and good things happened to me

it's absurd to pretend
like i know anything at all
it's either out of my control
or somehow all my fault

and i can't cry about either
it'd be a waste of precious time
i'd rather be here with you
than understand how or why
my therapist says your actions
have more to do with you
than they have to do with me
so why do i feel so targeted

i know she's right
but you know what you're doing
and i'm trying to find peace
in that i'm better off not trying to untangle your prerogative
you don't deserve my anger
not because you're guiltless
moreso that energy is wasted
when it's spent weighing a thought of you
the reprieve doesnt amount to much
and my grief wont revert to love
your presence is nothing but a reminder
of how i didn't love myself enough
to let myself be loved
