I should.... no, can't        can't     can't won't. refuse actually. do I like hurting? is there a reason I don't just move       on normally when goodbye is said, twice, it means you leave as in put one foot out into space and pull      down see what happens, see what passes. well, I really wasn't ever normal knew that from the start but this? I'm on an edge. this thinned pathetic rim that looks to me a bit u   n      sta b l e clearly                         [not clearly] there is a problem or something broken I'm dealing with it, but let's be honest sometimes it feels like I'm meshing with it blendingintothisbigmess that's so hard [for me only] to separate forgot about that- have to be more specific [for me only] is this still more than a bad taste in my mouth [for me only] it stripped me of common sense [for me only] I can't sleep at night All I want to do is          be free free to either walk through a day and not think your name name   name        name               name name or free to fall into your arms at the end of the day every day whatever I know I talk to a wall                                       wall and I'm here              wall           and you're there                                        wall                                        wall and I swear I'm putting all I have into [insert "letting go" here] but instead- trying to understand why I can't leave you behind
