Blue and pinched, blue and finished My great escape from warm knuckles brushing And passioned fists clenching Was drawn up, sketched and written, A thousand goodbyes swarmed in my lungs.
But the watering whites welled for the first time, Cracking your marble silence and spilling consequences left and right. My plan screeched, I stopped dead in my tracks.
And I thought,
Even if this ******* hurts I oughta stay and stick this one out.
The minute someone causes an emotional reaction in me, I get terrified and afraid and don't understand it and try to trade the bond I've formed for loneliness. It's the easiest method - sure, I miss out in intimacy, but I'm okay on my own. I've done this plenty of times with no consequences.
But when I saw you begin to cry, I knew I was making a grave mistake.
