Another one aimed at my girlfriend , telling someone you love them is a big step , it's unveiling all those emotions and putting them in a place where they can be used against you - now imagine they're not feeling the same...

I love you

Shes not saying that

Why ?

Just coz

But it's beautiful

Connecting

Spiralling

confusing

Shes not saying it

And then I bleed

The kind of bleed that your body can't take and your mind can't accept

The kind of pain that proves you can weep for days

The kind of cry that shakes out your deepest thoughts and feelings

The kind of hurt that scars your arms , legs and heart

Then you wish

Wish for something new

Something distracting

A sky that's actually blue

You hope

Hope that the world isn't really grey

It's not caught in the middle

It'll change someday

But then u accept

You change

You grow

The colours come back a little

It's not all a show

Now you wonder

What would've happened

What did she think

What made you say it

You weren't prepared

You hadn't thought

You just blurted it out

Scared her away

Her loss not mine

Now I can see

green yellow red

Not quite so grey

Not as bad as I said
