night forty seven

811 102 1
                                    

today was the day

i just wanted to let go,

i wanted to take my soul and

wring out all the darkness

that you had placed there.

wipe it clean

and start again.

and i wondered, for

the first time in a while, 

if you even knew what love was,

because you didn't seem to know that

love, yeah, it works both ways.

and i just screamed at the top of my lungs;

not that you would hear me. 

but somewhere deep inside me, i hope you did hear. 

"fuck it, i don't need you, i can be just fine without you here." 

--

what am i kidding?? i'll never be fine.
