Patchwork Staccato

This time that we've spent together is like a patchwork we have made.The little mistakes,the mishaps and the great memories.

Shall we destroy this?

I'm holding the sisscors.

I shred this patchwork to pieces,scattering them everywhere,making a colourful mess.

Hey,remember that time back then?Where we just played and didn't care that much.

Remember those words you said?I do.

Remember that useless time?I don't.

I've scattered this thread apart,to the point its so uneven.

Oh well,whatever works,right?

Tick tack tick tack.

Let's draw a map.

Ding dong ding dong.

And hide.

Tick tack tick tack.

"Hey let's go!"You said.

Ding dong ding dong.

"Oh well,see you!"You smiled.

It grasped close and whispered.

I'd just really rather if you weren't alive.Harsh,I know but really.Nothing would really change,would it?Nothing will.

It will just get a little boring.

Hey,can I throw this away?It wil continue to get unnoticed anyway.Selfish of me,I know,but what's the point.Or maybe I just keep this,maybe it will stop from liking you.

Would it even hurt?I wonder.

Soon you're distancing yourself away from me.I don't understand why but soon enough after,I stop asking,I stop looking.I stop needing other things,like this,and that.

Flick tap flick tap.

I scroll to read the old messages.

Swipe tap swipe tap.

I remember how I would smile.

Flick tap flick tap.

I look through my inbox.Nothing.

Swipe swipe swipe swipe.

Nothing can make this worrying feeling go away.

I sigh.

But I'd really rather if you just stop existing,if it goes unchanged like this.Nothing would change.What will be affected?

It would just get a little lonely.

Ugh,can I please just throw this all away?It's still getting unnoticed like this.This is complicating me,but maybe I'll just continue liking you.

Even if it hurts alot.

These actions of mine don't do anything.

I can't do anything.

Your ignorance pierces me,yet I don't do anything about it.

So can you.

So can you.

So can you just please stop existing,it's still going unnoticed like this.But probably,probably you'll realise some day.

Even though it'll just be lonely.

Hey,so can I just throw this thread all away?Nothing has changed.You still haven't realised,have you?

Is that so,okay then.

It seems that I was loving myself this entire time.

Tick tack tick tack.

Ding dong ding dong.

Our time we've spent together,shall we put an end to it?Just by cutting the threads of this patchwork.

Will it be easy?

Can I just laugh it off?

I don't know.
