Cold Feet

by jackie-harrington

Sometimes I feel like I lack so much passion Is that me or the depression I can't seem to form thoughts that let people in I want love but I seem to fall too deep into it And I talk a lot but no one is really listening I scribble out the words Like I forget everything that hurts Are you sure I'm not asleep Are you sure this is happening Why am I crying Why did it hurt that she never saw me There is so much suppressed noise that I'm completely silent If you can't handle me when I'm wordless Don't expect yourself to make it hurt less If you could hear my thoughts you'd understand that I'm complex And they're endless But what's the use I'm used to being abused by the pain I can't seem to lose Don't speak for me I might be slow to draw But don't think for me My trigger finger is quick to take me out of my misery Thank God for cold feet Thank God I'm terrible at endings
