do me a favor
are you having trouble
finding the door?
tell me are you lost
was the exit not
worth finding anymore?
you've been sitting in my head
for what seems like an hour or two
was it at least comfortable?
I think the space in my mind
is big enough for you
were you walking in circles?
are there blisters on your feet?
honey, you've been running on my mind
for the thirty second time
on repeat
it's not that I don't want you here
you're always free to wander in my dreams
just know it hurts a different kind of way
when you think about someone you can't keep
and as much as I want to kick you out
this run down mind of mine
rid me of infatuation
let heartache be a sign
but why do I remain stubborn
still I let you stay
promising myself to
free this heart from you the next day
empty promises soon fade
maybe tomorrows turn into maybe nots
I let you make yourself at home
within this foolish heart you caught
by now you might be wondering
what am I to do?
the simple answer is nothing
but then again I haven't got a clue
who knows? maybe indifference isn't the ideal
what's a girl gotta do to make her wishes real?
Paying it no mind won't make it hurt any less
but don't worry
looking at you from afar is what I do best
