watching myself being lit like chinese firecrackers into the sky for you isn't something worth fixing these third degree burns. you watched without mercy the hairs on my arms crawl away from the flames and my skin fall apart. if it was a test of your trust in me, then i watched myself crumble and rebuild myself into a dust sculpture of someone you would have desired. YOU BECAME AN OCEAN WITH HIGH AND LOW TIDES AT RANDOM INTERVALS AND I'VE CAUGHT MYSELF CHOKING ON YOU ENOUGH TIMES TO COMPLETELY STOP STEPPING FOOT INTO YOUR TERRITORY. I GOT SWEPT INTO DAVY JONES LOCKER, LOCKED INSIDE, AND PRIED MYSELF OUT MORE THAN ENOUGH TIMES TO FASHION WEAPONS AND BE PREPARED FOR WHEN YOU FINALLY ENGULF ME. I WAS PANICKY THE FIRST AND SECOND AND THIRD AND FORTH TIME, BUT NEVER AGAIN WILL I PANIC BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY YOU BECAUSE I WILL BE READY. YOU TRIED TO FOOL ME WITH THE MAZES IN DAVY'S LOCKER BUT I MANAGED A WAY OUT. YOU KNOW, I AM NOT A CHARITY CASE, SOMEONE YOU GO TO ONLY BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO BE A GOOD PERSON AND APOLOGIZE FOR BEING IGNORANT OF ME ONLY BECAUSE YOU LITTER ME LIKE TRASH ON THE DIRT COATED GROUND YOU WALK ON. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY UNLESS YOU KNEW HOW DRIFTING ALONE FEELS. i still drift alone, trying to forget you, trying to stop dreaming about each moment your tides swept their way onto my shore and shriveled up when i grazed against you.
