Should I let the current pull me away from land?
Breakups are like being uprooted from your home,
Pulled away from the familiar
Things you're comfortable with and things you've known
Finding yourself in the weirdest situations
Not quite comfortable in your skin
I've lost the boy who sang to me
I've lost what I thought was meant to be
I can no longer look at this place without remembering the times we had
A sin I indulge in when I'm feeling sad
I'm lost and I'm not sure if I can be found
I hope he sees this but I hope he's bound
I can't make up my mind
The words choke me up
I drown
This is not a poem
This is not a song
I can't think of either
Without my smile going down
This is not a sonnet
This is not a love song
Those were what we exchanged
But you've buried me down
Locked me up
Tied me down
I hope you're happy
I hope you won't frown
I hope you know I love you
I think you should know
Even now.
I hope you see this
But then I hope you don't
I hope you've found someone
But I hope you don't
This is not a poem
This cannot be my song
I cannot claim to keep
What was so fleeting
So transient I tripped
