I wish I didn't bear the burden
Of feeling it all so heavily at once
The weight of my heart
About to erupt
Self destruct
You were just right here by my side
Hands grasping each other's so tight
Our essence and being
So gracefully entwined
In a flicker of time
All of that can feel like we've hit rewind

We were just two lonely people in search of another
To confirm that we do in fact have a purpose
In a great big world that lacks emotional explainability
The void is difficult to face on your own
When all you can see is a sea of uncertainty
But it was you and I against the time
Until our unforeseen, inevitable decline

Oh but why
Did these delicately cultivated memories
Shatter at the seams like they were never truly reality
But I'm aware that it's out of my control
All I ask is that you please don't forget
The way you used to look into my soul

I wish I had a different mind
A different personality
I am too sharp for my own good
Too intense
Everything I feel is twice the size of me
And I fight until my last breath for stability
To feel safe in an emotion
In a feeling
In a bond
But the inevitability gets to me, and I always respond
And at the first sign, I scream
Because nothing is worse than an ending that came too early
Or the aftermath of a fading dream.

— The End —
