sometimes I throw pennies in the space where you used to fill my heart I listen to its hollow echo the wish is always the same all this time and I still don't know why I didn't let you love me perhaps it was because we were partners in creativity and I am by nature a restrictive girl always cutting things off so that they don't ruin each other I always do this as if to save myself just in case I find something better (this is called fear) because too many things have bled together inside and outside of me like permanent watercolours on a tablecloth, and I've learned to stop the painting from being finished before I ruin everything again stains like this have been stuck inside of me ever  since the moment I realized you weren't coming back to try and love me again all this time and I still don't know why I didn't let you love me tonight I cast another penny in the space where you used to fill my heart now I know I was afraid of you now I know that fear has been living inside of me ever since the moment I realized you weren't coming back to try again and that moment is right now. the wish is always the same.
