I don't write about you anymore Β At least not like I used to. I used to feel you through your veins Used to know you as ingrained in the fabric of the earth All saltwater and spit like the love you always wanted Like the love you set on your brow But I don't write about you anymore except when I'm trashed at three am Sick of all your talk and the way you put on that shadow when you're begging to be seen And I do. I watch you and your perfect teeth talk **** across the room You say you're happy when you're drunk but I know it isn't true You're just happy to be apart of something that feels bigger than your skin Petrified by infinity you don't let your finite nature sink in You are a biproduct of your generation. Pastel perfection and **** Everyone's dream girl Until you're alone with yourself And I don't know which is sadder the way you laugh just a little too loud when the joke wasn't that funny and wasn't directed at you or the fact that I've been sitting on the floor for an hour and a half and the closest I can come to explaining how I feel is "******* Β you never knew me and you never wanted to" And it's all I can do to just be near to you at this point Listen to your hot breath fill the room with bravado and your parents beliefs You said that people should do whatever they want as long as they're happy And then turned back around and voiced how concerned you were about your brother's new habits Just as long as no one judges you or your drunk Snapchat stories you post with your new friends who you'll be tired of in 3 months time Everything is temporary but nothing seems to stay constant with you And sometimes I think about how I used you write about you Your wide eyes and moon shaped face Heart of the ocean I was reeling in the high tide but now I'm stuck on land again And even if it seems strange I don't want to go back Back to when I used to write this way Back when I was interesting enough for you I want to sit on the floor in front of you Hear the words on your tongue Watch the ivory of your teeth meet your forced smile I want to be here right now and drink in every ******* drop of your apathy So I can remind myself who Ill never be And watch you disopate and collapse So yeah I don't write about you anymore At least not in that way.
This is never going to be an easy thing to write about.
