__________________________________________

i'll tell you a story.

i never wanted love.

lets be honest i think you knew that all along.

i don't know what happened to me

you dragged me into your beautiful bullshit

 and consumed me with

your love.

[why do we fall in love so easy?]

i made a mess of you

and pretended i was fine

dragging you along as i burned,

thinking you'd make it out alive.

[where there's a flame someone's bound to get burned]

you gave me everything

 i could ever dream of

to wake up to your smile

the sparkle in your eyes

the way you looked at me,

you were in love with me.

and that's okay

because i fell in love with you too.

[but just because it burns doesn't mean you're gunna die]

im impulsive

a mess

a shell of a broken little 

b o y

i could tell you about death 

if i really wanted to

i could tell you how messed my mind really is

or i could end this

telling you the one thing i never lied about

the one thing that will never change

i love you

but,

[where there is desire there is gunna be a flame]

[and where there is a flame someone's gunna get burned]

[but just because it burns doesn't mean you're gunna die]

[you've gotta get up and try, and try, and try]

stand up, buttercup.

head held high,

eyes blazing bright

do what you have to do in life

to make it out alive.

[sometimes i think its better to never ask why]

forever is just a word.

but you are mine.

and forever mine

you will stay.



the song is try by p!nk. 

listen to it, it'll make the pain go away

or at least some of it anyway.

[yes this poem is supposed to be 

layed out in this way. it's supposed

to be confusing. because that's what 

love is.]
