I hate the way that you try to pierce through my very skin like it's some mask you need to destroy as if every interaction is scripted and our plots became twisted in some sick burst of authored inspiration when you say you want to know me like I even know myself at all like I'm some treasure trove that if you pry at the lock for just a minute longer all will be revealed the secrets to me, my world, our... whatever this is-
love? the four letter word that fills every heart with elation the ultimate goal, a timeless measure of success and the premise of our relations measured in kisses, profound words shared at unreasonable hours where syllables slur and gaps in our memories plague us for nights to come - why do I dread it so much?
why does love have to be a goal? why does every touch of your warm hands seem to melt a part of me? frost - five letters, brief and symbolic of everything I'm made of; what's in a name? evidently much.
why are you so determined to see past my warpaint - if it is warpaint at all? you say you want me to bare everything that I look pretty despite marred skin - I hear that I don't have to bother embracing my sense of self for you. is that all I am: a template, one-size-fits-all? **** your delusions and the way you like to lengthen my name like it's one that resonates with me
don't you listen? I don't resonate with this world at all
