People say they get it but I’m skeptical
It consumes everything
All the drugs, the alcohol, the people
Everything I use to fill this void is never enough
It’s like an emotional tape worm
We eat and eat and rip chunks of flesh with our teeth and it still wants more
I started taking pictures of the fireworks to show you the view from my apartment until I realized you don’t care to see them
I had you in my life for 17 years for you to get mad at me for not telling you something
For that to be the straw that broke the camels back
Everything that I used to bring joy to my day is gone
When you don’t have anyone to tell your day to then why bother to have a good day
If it doesn’t really matter then today can be like yesterday and the day before
Silent.
