Risks

Why does it hurt me so much?

It's not like I didn't see it coming

Well I guess I didn't

I saw rejection coming

But this is worse

You say you're just not ready

You love me

Or so you say

But do you really?

If you really loved me

It wouldn't matter

You would take risks

Because love does something to us

It's makes us braver

Makes us stronger

But how should I know?

All I've ever known is sadness

Sadness shuts us down

But we take risks all the same

There's always the risk

That somebody finds you

Sobbing into your pillow

Or with blade in hand

But we do it anyway

Why?

Because our pillows

Are the only ones that listen

And that blade
Is the only thing that can distract us

From the sadness

From the pain

That we endure every day
