Remember how I said that I would write you into something perfect
so that you would stop walking out on me?
So I rewrote you by bending the lines of
STAY
Problem is
People change
And I found you stretching into
HEART BREAK
and
HIT AND RUN
And me trying to find anything better than
“Please don’t leave me”
That’s when I learned to write you into
AGAIN
And
TOMORROW
Then I figured the math of
FOREVER
Is 2xtoo long
When you factor in the absolute power of
ME
Turns out
Father
Sound too much like
Forever
And
DAD
Is something neither of us ever really
HAD
And the
Past
Is something we are both running from
Now
MAN
Is the thing I am most scared of becoming
I find myself begging my reflection to stop me from it
That’s when I learned to write myself into
FORGIVE
And how to factor myself into the equation of
ENDLESS
My name was the first word I ever learned to say
It has 8 letters in it
Sideways it is ∞
