Dark Delusion
For what you expected me to be.
Was what you never saw.

find me braver,
find me kinder
find me loving with
a wide-open heart
find me with flowers on my head
and forgiveness in my heart
find me alive,
find me in love

you've read about her in books
she's the kind of girl who likes saving the world, the kind of girl who has too little but gives too much


only,
*she's not the protagonist

satellites above your head
are blinking down not quite morse code:
they definitely wouldn't mind hanging out
whenever you have the time.
when they can't sleep
they think of stories you tell and rest easier for it.
stars and light from stars
that aren't anymore clutch
their metaphorical hearts over how good you are,
at how kindhearted you are, or if your heart is rage and fear
how kind you manage to be anyway.
the moon sees how hard you are trying
even on the days you don't leave your bed.
the moon loves you the way you are and she'll
love you when you change.
when you look at yourself and all you see is a parasite,
a waste of air, poison waiting to escape and it tastes
sour sour sour on your tongue and you realize
stopping this before more people are hurt
is your most compelling duty
the night sky wants you to stick around.

3 minutes away from midnight,
In bed with the same clothes as yesterday.
You wore me out.

But your presence stayed the night.
And you wouldn't leave when I kicked you out.
To be fair I didn't fight that hard.
And to be haste you broke my heart.
I blame you for the drama that you start.
I blame you for the love you tore apart.
And I feared for the words your lips would depart.

                                                               ­                                   The city grew quiet.
                                                                ­                           The streets were empty.
                                                                ­     The skyscrapers felt taller than ever.

And I'd had killed if I knew you would never resent me.
But your shadow laid in bed with me that night.
It told me all your secrets and held me tight.
I tried to let go but my arms put up a fight.
And now you come back every single night.
I blame myself for the advantage you took.
I haven't seen you in three years but we never spent a night apart.
11:57
3 minutes away from midnight,
In bed with the same clothes as yesterday.
You wore me out.
You left three years ago.

But I'll see you tonight.

— The End —
