at my breaking point

(you know when you look around yourself,

and you come to the realization that you have

absolutely no ******* idea how you got there?)

 

you were standing next to me in the kitchen,

waiting for a response,

waiting for anything really, from me

I couldn't speak.

I know what you want from me,

and yet I can't seem to tell you the truth:

it can't be me.

 

I'm messy, and I'm hard to love.

I have no other explanation.

I really wish I did,

I really wish when I went to kiss you

that I could have made it all better,

kissed it all away.

Awoke in the morning like nothing had transpired.

When I say it's too late, it's not,

I just...I can't.
