i just want you to know me and i want to know you, but ego and curiosity can’t live together comfortably Because most things I’m ‘fraid to ask And most thing I’m ‘fraid to know. Falling to ash in someone’s arms isn’t as hard as sugarcoating the things we all go through And we all feel like this And we all “don’t” So we decorate our walls And make sure there no windows. My eyes are black, so I’ve never had to worry much about that. Nothing to tell- nothing to show Cold, hard touch not sure where or how to crack the ice.. i hear ”warmth will melt” But all human hearts have different boiling points And my skin is too sensitive to test those waters.

Shiver ‘til then

Why do I do this to myself every time ?
