let me seep into your bones and rot you from the inside out
let me hold you in my cradle and rock you until you feel dizzy and nauseous
let me kiss you with poison on my lips until you’ve had so much you’re immune
i’m 18 fucking years old writing the same pathetic, self-degrading, love poem to the same girl i knew when i was 13
after 5 years of running away only to run back, you realize you’ve been running in a circle
maybe that’s why i threw instead of ran in track and field
if i could throw you far enough away from me, would it be possible to finally lose your scent?
finally possible to let go my adolescent feelings for the one who is my polar opposite
isn’t that what attracted me to you though?
your sharp tongue and eyes could slice my soft chest open and i’d stuff the wound with poor words like these
words aren’t bandages, what a terrible lesson i had to learn
you always tried to teach me things. how to communicate, how to be truthful, how to listen
that last thing never worked out for me, huh?
if i knew then what i know now, i wonder if i could’ve patched the holes before they became bigger
i’m ranting at 2am, in october, in college
this season always brings me back to you
i’m always sad during this season
is it you? or are you the cure that i never let sink in before ripping out the tube?
i’m pretty sure we’re terrible for each other
we’ve proved that a lot of times, i think
but sometimes i wonder how it would feel to be bad with you, to be sick with you, to love you
again
