Forgo Summer to Die in the Winter

Forgo Summer to Die in the Winter

 

its quite alright that your a *****

you should have never showed up last night

i thought I told you the score

repeat, repeat, repeat

a time or two before

dance this silly dance we do

back and forth

score for love, a score for secrecy

we should have never held one another that close

electric and morose

it's over and it can't be fixed

there is no coming back from abysm

instead I seek an important peace, within me,

and for us, for us

do you remember the us?

wait, i heard you

no longer an us

we are nothing

as you say, as you say, as you say

but I held out for respect of a friend

none to be had

you show me how that can be done,

more lethal than a loaded gun

sad me walks and walks alone, alone, alone again

you leave in silent steps

quiet tongue

as always

as always

no change

you say I confuse your truth for mean

you confuse my communication for gibberish

your ears go numb

you forget...

me

you act as if you don't know what to say...

to me

so much time to know me yet you remain amaurotic

you curtail and introvert

deaf ears, hardened heart

questioning the tears

telling me to not roll them out

you wouldn't, why would I?

berating, blind, black-hearted

forgiveness is but a lark

It was important

I tried to tell you

I am sorry you chose to miss it

this is going to hurt...

it’s yours
