Is it comfortable up there holding the moon in place?
Do your arms ever get tired?
Don't you know that's not your job?
You were supposed to be a shooting star, not my personal gravity.

COME ON.
LET THE WRITERS BREAK THEIR WRISTS AND BLEED THEIR FINGERS DRY OVER SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T GIVE A **** ABOUT THEM

i am one sad poem after another.
but i am not ashamed of it because they all reek of you—
my backstage baby

Did you know I only think of you?  Of course you did.
Did you know I'm always writing for you? Of course you didn't.
Did you know I only smile for you? Yes. So now the only time i can see your teeth smiling is when they're grazing my skin, but i watched everything i had left fall through your fingers.

I think you gave up on me, or maybe i gave up on you, or maybe i never even had faith in you but it doesn't make now any less empty.

I am not hostile towards our flat-line but i still miss you.

I SOLEMNLY PROMISE THAT I FOUND ARMAGEDDON IN THE FOOTSTEPS YOU LEFT ON ME.

i find myself stuck
stranded in my own psyche
rock in a hard place

i can't shut you out
you have crushed my resistance
like a broken branch
