Downplay all my feelings, weighing heavy, past the floor. sinking into concrete, thinking I deserve to be appalled. Astronomical waves of nerves and grief, coming off me in this drought, this heat. Your silent perception, was just an interception to think kindness is some sort of war. Thinking..'Honey, you deserve it all.' Why did I deserve to be your doormat? To clear your sadness, as a rag. Kindness isn't a weapon or a form of ripping someone open. I give you honesty, but in all certainty..you wish I did not exist? Your apologies are like water, slipping through my fingers. I'm drowned in forgiveness, but you mean none of it at all...

SINKING INTO CONCRETE
Downplay all my feelings, weighing heavy, past the floor. sinking into concrete, thinking I deserve to be appalled. Astronomical waves of nerves and grief, coming off me in this drought, this heat. Your silent perception, was just an interception to think kindness is some sort of war. Thinking..'Honey, you deserve it all.' Why did I deserve to be your doormat? To clear your sadness, as a rag. Kindness isn't a weapon or a form of ripping someone open. I give you honesty, but in all certainty..you wish I did not exist? Your apologies are like water, slipping through my fingers. I'm drowned in forgiveness, but you mean none of it at all...
