carry you home
- love, trystan
some days i struggle to understand
why u live like this
hanging on by a thread & never wanting to go home
u feel like u need to be strong for me
but at some point, u get tired of being strong
i appreciate it, truly,
but i wish you'd put some of that energy into yourself
they want so many things from you
love u when it's convenient
but then hate the things that you have to do to get there
a never-ending cycle that ur sick of
sick of the pain & the lies
but sister, if i could, you know
that i'd carry you home
wherever you feel like it is
i know i'm not that strong
but i'd try
& try
& try
i'd drive a thousand miles
tell 'em a thousand lies
if it meant keeping u alive
u could be as independent as u want to be
but u always need at least one person to be the one to
carry
you
home.
