no
there was a time when you made me cry
when you did things to me
that made me want to die
you made me feel worthless
        shattered and bruised
but then when i cried
you held me close
and forget i'd been used

i know i said "no"
but i don't think you heard it
you made it into my fault
you gave me that burden

but even now when i should push you away
you talk to me sweet
you know what to say
so that even when i don't want you
which is every day
my mouth can't form "no"
you already took that away

i'm only writing to look busy
because the girl across from me
is typing furiously
and i can see her tired eyes
and her glasses
sliding down her nose
as she tries not to fall asleep
i wouldn't want to be a distraction
sitting here doing absolutely nothing

its 2:42am and the world is asleep
i didn't drink enough water today
my throat sighs
my tear ducts are empty
and there are no more tears to cry

i just want to watch the sunrise
i want to feel your gentle arms around me
and rest my head on your shoulder
as the sun peaks out from beneath the ocean

i want to walk with you
and know your thoughts
i just want to drive
and keep going
down a never ending highway
listening to the comfortable silence

i want to end on a beach
lying on a blanket
and listening to the waves fold over each other
like our arms and legs used to

i want to feel peace

i want to fall asleep right now
but only if it means
i don't have to wake up

— The End —
