I know you’re not deaf, But I guess I was blind.

I find myself running out Of things and ways to say it. Repeating phrases Like I’m sorry Saying them louder Like that might help you To understand I know this is hard for you But its hard for me too Because it was me who fired the shot, That brought down the world I blew out the candle, And everything went dark Now I’m blindly feeling my way, To a solution Hoping one exists at all God, I’m just so **** terrified Trying so hard to hold it all together Hold it all in. Hoping my fear doesn’t show though the cracks I can’t care how it comes out anymore, I won’t worry about rhyme Or form. This is all about the point. My jumbled ideas, worries That are coming too quickly to make sense. Jumping from one stone to the other Turning from blue, to grey in one fluid motion Like the sky deciding to storm I’d really just like you to take my hand, Practice forgiveness And we’ll work out this mess together Because I know you’re real, And you’re probably all scrambled up too. -Taylor I can’t stop, there’s too much here that reminds me of you.
