landslide

it's not like you

to pretend that everything

is fine

 

it's not like you

to sit on your hands

and believe a lie,

 

and worse,

to believe that

i believe it too.

 

i almost wonder

if you've come to a

place where you find us

to be a means to an end

rather than the beginning

of something worth keeping.

 

what was once

beautiful to each of us

is now simply an inconvenience

and that's not what we wanted in the beginning

and it's certainly not what either of us are wanting now.

 

it all started so small

 

please - isn't there some

small part of you

that can still see

through the

walls i built

to hold

it all

out?

 

isn't there some

small part of you

that wants to

understand

why all i'm doing

is running

as fast as i can

in the opposite

direction?

 

isn't there some

small part of you

that misses

what we've been

missing now that

we're not

what we were

before?

 

because if there

is some small

part of you

that wants to

begin again,

with transparent

walls and

nonexistent expectations,

then by all means love,

 

lets

start

now.
