When the most encouraging words fall
from between the lips of those whose friendships are transient
it's pretty **** confusing
When the most hurtful words lash out,
barbs on a tongue from the people who are supposed to love you
you live your world upside down
without even realising
You walk down streets with the signs
written backwards
intentions muddled and hidden from sight
You pace rooms, with windows that stretch
from the ceiling to the floor, doors shorter than a toddler
seeing everything with no way out
Seeing everything that other people have
and you don't
seeing things that could've been so simple
yet too complicated to obtain
Wanting things that aren't yours but could've been
If only everyone put in a little more effort
if only everyone put their pride away
if only everyone could accept that this family
has fallen
a p a r t
and that the time to fix it
has long passed

it's miscommunication that tore us apart, not ill intent, not hatred
