A Title Far Too Obvious

by latinwaters

I've traded in hearts for habits for using those who let me in And allow me to wipe my feet on their fresh wounded hearts like welcoming mats that collect dirt in old broken homes Who welcome me to build my house into a home Made out of sticks rather than stone because let's face it I've never been good at being home And like lines in white drugs I've grown habits to use them like I use you Like we use each other And I like the way that it makes me feel I like the way that you make me feel I like the way it feels So I stay where I am As you undress my clothes Undress my childhood memories Undress my parents vacant home Promises we've kept to ourselves That we'd never speak of love and only stick to the things we know best Things we always wanted to accomplish Whispering at night while the walls sweat with secrets meant sleeping all day and making daylight our rehab With love, comes fear So I ran with a heart that dried up and buried it in foreign soil And maybe once spring comes again it'll grow like we once did and my heart will be sober again My addictions have become acquainted with my daily routines because lately it seems like this never ending road is a path straight to hell But maybe I don't want to leave Maybe I'm too comfortable where I am And while we're being honest, if we're being honest at all I dont remember what it's like to be my old self anymore
