What hurts the most
Is that I would move mountains and conquer worlds if you asked me to
And the one time I become brave enough to ask something of you


You said no.
What's this feeling called
When your gut is sitting in your throat
And something feels like it's horribly wrong
As if you're about to get in trouble
Or you know you're about to be dumped
But everything is fine
And nothing falls apart

What causes this terror in my bones
That has no reason for being there
But sits whispering,
"You shouldn't be so sure"
I spoke in novels
And you responded with punctuation
It's the moment alone
When the tears come down
That we have to make a choice
Do we convince ourselves that we have no one
Or do we fall apart and trust there will be someone there to catch the pieces?
How funny it was
That as our lips sat inches apart
Begging to be kissed
We talked about our lovers
Without hearing each other's words
Or even knowing what we were saying ourselves

How funny it was
To be lost in your eyes
While telling you why I shouldn't be
He said to me,

"The reason you find yourself alone so much is because you are truth, where people want to turn a blind eye.
You're a constant reminder of the things that they're terrified to say and so instead of loving you,
They run away and say nothing at all."
Today, I cried
And even in all this misery
It felt good to still know I was alive
