i have so many thorns in my body, that i forgot all the places i've been bleeding. you bleed me out, you can. and that's okay. i'm aching. i ached to taste you and i still ache, but the question is, would you even wait long enough to let me have the chance? to be waiting and being disappointed by a bitter fruit or waiting and never finding out the sting. i'm not sure what is worse. is it possible to drown before you take a dive into the deep end of the pool? or is the self pity the pool itself? does weakness constitute as a fabrication for other people's flaws or is it simply a plan that failed to start? i know my blind sides, but i've had so many bittersweet "almosts" and close enough "maybes" that heartbreak has become my favorite flavor.
