Thorn in her paw

I just wanted to love someone

so much -

That I never learned to like anyone

 

She was dangerously close

like a molotov

to a dream.

The crease in her smile

From when she carried it closed

Or maybe from when

The one that last carried it for her.

 

There's a thorn in her paw;

That is a crucifix in her theart

and keeps her nailed to the pain.

It's a cross

between the love she has

for everyone

but herself,

and the hatred for me.

And I like it.

All of it.

 

Still though, I dream that she's in my bed

looking sweete than her taste for revenge,

it's 5 PM and she isn't wearing much

but she's in my bed, saying the things

that I need to hear,

which is just about anything at this point.

 

It's 8:30 pm, and I get my wake up call

and out the door I go, in my headphones go

the first thing I hear is Ed Sheeran

I hate that I enjoy his voice

because he's always ******* right

and he tells me "baby you look happier, you do"

well ****

"my friends told me, one day I'll feel it too"

and now I need a shot because ****

I really was happier with her.

 

7:15 in the morning

Don Quixote sits against my wall

I can't really hear his voice

but he says that it ain't right

to fight a windmill and lose.

 

and then he tells me

it ain't right for me and her

to be all we've ever been.

 

All I make is mistakes

I see them too, but it's always too late.

It's all I know how to do.

I know there's something wrong,

hence why I'm drunk when I write.

Sometimes I couldn't blink

or take a breath during those conversations.

 

There's so much I'm uncertain about

...so many questions

I'll never ask, again

I used to ask a lot, for someone.

not anymore.

not since i couldn't explain

what I couldn't explore.

but that thorn is still in her paw.

I wish I could've removed it.
