The Things I Need You To Know..
1
The world will never be enough.
You could go searching for years upon years. Your toes could squeeze into dirt, snow, and lava. You could kiss mountains.
You could drink the whole ******* ocean, and it will never be enough.
The void in your heart can't be filled with distance.
2
Demons are real. I see them every day.
There's one inside of you, inside of me.
It's the angels I'm afraid ofโฆ for I have yet to see one.
Those angels, well, they're sneaky little devils.
3
Money doesn't exist.
It's just pieces of cotton or paper or whatever that we've traded in for our time.
Time doesn't exist either.
So don't stress your pretty little head over it.
Don't let the hole in your wallet stop the breath in your lungs.
4
I will try my best to always be there.
When everyone else turns their heads, I promise to run in with open arms.
I promise to hold you until the pain stops.
I promise you, I'll be there. I promise. I promise.
I promise.
5
I'm as damaged as you are. I just hide it better.
I play the game. I am the ******* Queen of Pretenders.
If you saw the real me, if anyone saw the real me.. They'd run. Fast and far.
They'd run a million miles.
If anyone knew.. If you knew.. How dark my soul can be. You'd bail on me the way they all bailed on you.
You'd leave in the flutter of a humming bird's wing.
If you knew.. If only you knew.
6
I often wonder how the needles felt in your arm.
Cold.
Electric.
I wonder if you welcomed death, if you prayed for an over-dose. It keeps me up at night.
I wonder what you're still hiding these days..
7
I keep quiet and so should you. Words are too loud. All they do is ruin lives.
Words get in our heads and they **** us up big time.
Life without words. True silence.
It's the closest to heaven that we'll ever be.
8**
I don't know much of anything. I'm beginning to lose what little faith I had in humanity.
But I know that when you smile, all the ******* in my life stops for just a moment.
And for just a moment.
We're okay.
And that's enough, really. It's enough for me.
For now, forever. Your smile.
It's enough to get me through this life.
It's enough.
