I am scared to let myself feel vulnerable for you:
See, My heart’s been tortured by your kind before- So I lay bricks of mistrust and hurt around it Because even once- Is one too many times for me To feel so very deeply, The unrequited touches on my frayed skin.
They say that drowning is the worst way to die, But what if I willingly dive into the sea of blue that is your eyes…
Would that still count as suicide?
Do you ever think of me, Half as many times as I do you? Because I often wonder:
Are we still friends in the dark, Or do you also hear the loudness of my heartbeat reverberating through my chest- For you?
