I'm the thief of your dreams; I've gone and turned them all black.
Everything you wanted for me, everything you hoped I'd be I threw back.
Now you worry and smother me with all of your good intentions,
But I lie to you through my teeth-- even my "truths" are inventions.
Constantly having your face buried in eating food,
To even stop to catch a glimpse of the pain on the faces of those around you

I will never understand the ease with which
People think of themselves rather than others.
They walk over people with a smile on their face
And do not realise just how much they smother.

smothering you.
something I never intended to do
never really something anyone intentionally does
it kinda
sorta
just
happens.
and for that, I am sorry.
I am sorry for the double texts
I am sorry for the endless questions
I am sorry for making you feel like you were being suffocated by my presence
I am sorry for hovering over every detail you refused to share with an empty soul I call mine
I am sorry for causing you to suffer through the life experience of having me to be someone that loves you
I am sorry I smothered you
I am sorry you never smothered me too
-mxy
Revised version


When we spoke today,
you* made me aware,
that you may feeling
smothered­

I was hurt by the truth,
and was stung by the pain,
so, I stopped, reflected and
wondered

I thought about us,
how I hoped it would work
but a girl needs to know that she's
treasured

But you don't adore me
or love me to pieces
and I make you feel so
encumbered

It's true what they say
about how actions speak
and you act as if you are
censored

You push me away
when you've had enough
like you're wishing our days were
numbered

Now I'll do what you want
and extinguish our flame,
leaving you to breathe deep in the
*blame
