The Night Talks • Vents

romantic

to ignore your pain
is to choose ignorance
yet why is it so easy
to stay romantically oblivious

stupidity is romantic
dont try to deny is
love is always stupid
and so is ignoring the truth

the truth ruins love
ruins happiness
but logic always comes through
and sadly sadness wins

i know youll come back one day
but i wish i didnt
because now im stuck in this logic
one that stabs my chest nightly

oh dear gray dove
why didnt you love your little home
i gave you food and shelter and health
but you repay me in broken hummingbirds

logic says the dove will fall again
his wing freshly broken
and into my hands he will fall
to rewrap his injury

ill do it like i did it just yesterday
time stops without you
and restarts as i look into your eyes
fuck you dove

im not a fan of birds anyway
call me a cat person
id rather be clawed to death
than deal with your shit again

and that was a lie
because no matter what
your gray feathers
will always hold me
