I wrote my story

On her skin

How can she walk away

With four years of everything

Written out in

Blood

Ink

Tears

And dreams

We want to see Boston

But will we even see each other

By years end

Don't walk away

Like I never existed to you

You don't remember the words

I sent you that night

"STOP STALLING"

And I held onto a shred of courage

Hit send

And prayed that my words

"You. It's always been you"

Would answer your question

Of who I had a crush on

Well enough

Three years later

What the fuck happened?

I can't tell if memory is blurred

From tragedy

Or drugs

I was breaking on your birthday

Last year

I tried everything to send

The message I had for you

No one heard me

Even if they came to see me

Even if they promised

The words you called me though

Sometimes show up

In my darkest dreams

I see attention whore spread

Across the skies

Along with the other pet names

You gave me

that early morning war

I've only ever loved you

Only frustrated

When you shove me away

With a killing intent

Out to murder my faith in us

I thought we were fine

You are far from it

I'm sorry I was too blind

Our whole relationship

Was based on communication

And the lack of it

We went backward

We got our life story off our chest

Before jumping into trivia

Can I trust you?

Will you speak in anger

And make the best speech

You will ever regret?

More words

From the outside

She said what I refused to accept

Acceptance meant too much

It meant I failed

It meant I had to let you go

It meant I was broken

"Maybe it's because of

You're mental health"

As I begged you not to drag that horse

Into this story

I stand above

It's rotting corpse

Rotting and crumbling away

Like my faith in what I called love

I'll finally let my bird go

And I know you will never

Come back

To sing to me

Again
