i always thought i would love you until my dying day. until my lungs gave out and my heart stopped it’s persistent thudding. i thought i would love you in spite of it all; the inconsistency, the intimacy. the never checking up on me. the times all i ever wanted was to see your name flash up on my phone but i only ever saw myself staring back at me and i didn’t know what to do with that until i stopped waiting. and now i don’t think i want to love you anymore.

my love can’t save me
