You're like a crossword puzzle, I just can't figure you out
I’m perplexed
The contradiction in the way you speak and act has got me vexed
It is a rhythm of rights and wrongs, of whom and what don’t belong
You’ve got your image of society set like it was a constellation. Permanent, only visible to the people who are searching
You say to never go right but occasionally turn down that road
Do not speak when hate is the driver you spit out
And yet often chime in with a snide comment about others appearance
I don’t understand
Your stature is not a brick wall; you lean to one side or stare off into nothing
As if everything is unimportant
As if a wind could swing by and scream you into a heap on the floor
You’d lie there not caring to get up, liking the hard bed that’s just sprang up and it’s solitude
How even if no one else will, you know the ground will always be there for you to hit you when you fall
The only thing you can rely on
I want to be the one to catch you
Tell you everything’s ok
Make you feel like the world beneath your feet is a miracle and the sun coming up every morning is a gift but…
But I can’t
I can’t help you
I can’t love you
Not if you don’t know who you are, like when you look in the mirror and wonder who’s string back
Not if you don’t have morals
Not if you can’t abide by them
Not if you don’t know where you’re going, like the way you treat dirt rode’s as if their lined with yellow bricks
Dear, I can’t follow a rabbit hole if I don’t know the fairytale on the other side
I can see a fire burning inside you, but it’s only getting dimmer
With each breath you inhale of poison slowly burning your throat, my air get’s thin and my throat get’s tight
You light your cigarette like your life. You ignite your own death. Make your own smoke.
You poison yourself.
With each step you take and word you whistle out you do it joyfully as if you’re happy for this series of unfortunate events.
Baby you confuse me every **** day
And I just wanted you to know.
I love you anyway
