she stole my ability
stole my drive
my passion
crashed my car, my heart
love, please

no apology just change
no explanation just absence
no worries be happy
don’t say, do
no care, love
no love, jump

everyone wants to be my friend
everyone tells me how much i’ve changed
i’m being unblocked
by people i thought were here the whole time
by people i thought had been mine
i had a change of heart
i stayed with the others
i saw the other side
you have nothing to say

mesh days
shaking hearts
still nights but
you’re dripping
dropping
home

i don’t have any words
they used to fly around my head looking for a way in
flowing out of my ears
out of my eyes
seeing everything
i stopped and stood on the sidewalk watching the red light
and as i yelled it changed

each victory
smaller than the last
We are told none is too small
but I can’t see them
they blend in
no longer victories, they are routine
nothing changed

it’s not the rejection of the “cliche” you despise, that matters, it’s the respect you gain for it as you drift from each other
