Don't give me your truths,
from all of them I'll only reveal,
My heart has become a wound
that we can't ever heal.

These secrets, out of em all
yours feel like chains,
I'll break under pressure

A quiet catastrophe,
Time is a fleeting treasure.

I have questions for you.
But I don't think he knows why.
          (I don't think you know-do you?)
No.
          (You don't.)
I'm not sure I do-actually.
          (No.)

Well...maybe.
No-no. I don't want to ask it anymore.
          (Let's push this down-deep down. Never saw it. )
          (Please. It can't hurt me if its deep enough.)
          (I'm not sure I can handle this-)
I have to...

Did you realise?
          (Why didn't I realise?)

Tell me something...
Why wasn't Tinder letting you log in?
How long did your selfie take to verify?
         (The effort it takes to actually VERIFY yourself, seriously??)

Last September you were wondering that...
In fact!
3 days in a row you were Googling your issues with Tinder.  

Can't remember? 2024 & 2019? Feeling queasy?
Me too.
     (Tell me you didn't.)
     (Trick me.)
     (Lie to me please, I'm begging you)
     (I'll believe you, I promise.)

But that's okay, honey!
I'll jog your memory~
If we take a look at Exhib-
         
     (No.)
Never mind.
I can't do this.
              (I'm so angry.)
I warned you that the internet tracks everything you do...and I run our internet.
What did you think would happen?

We've made it!
He's got that job
And I'm finishing my degree

We've got a dog
That loves us times three.

I have to work part time
And go to school full time.

I see you for an hour 5x a week.
We haven't had a date since last March.
I say we don't need one.
How can you miss what doesn't exist?
Forget the weekends-you're working.

I don't need attention.
I don't need affection.
I am self sufficient.
I am fine alone.

But hey!
We've finally made it,
Right?

This was the dream!
A good job
My education
A family of two.

Right?
We finally made it.
It's about time.

I wait for you to see what you've done.  
I wait for you to speak.
You do.

But you don't acknowledge me.

You go at your own leisure,
Don't you?

I am blinded.
I scream, and shout.

But I only destroy what was.

I can't take the reins,
But I can no longer wait.

If I say something wrong
teach me

If I do something wrong
teach me

If I am incorrect in my beliefs
teach me

I will not learn better
Until you show me
Why it's better.

Have you ever looked someone in the eye
and watched them die?

It's just a little.
Piece by piece.
They become ever so
slightly more brittle.

I'm think noticing it in the mirror now.

How terrifying it is
To fear you will be destroyed
By a single man

So terrifying
In fact
You destroy yourself.                
First.
