when i was left wild i felt unlike you then i was that product i found out what it cost when you were still growing you saw the world owed you hedge yr bets on outside threats that don’t mean shit to u why do u cry blind to make the best of it? you just flippantly walk away or was that me ? these neon lights don’t seem so bright compared to what they once were every billboards selling me another me in lingerie whether me or her in the back of my mind there’s a niggling concern my bitter pill to swallow i have so much to unlearn why do u cry blind we must make a go of it? u wanna lift me out of here well im already out my depth a whining woman child get back in yr place when u can flippantly walk away or is that me? a whining woman child was that me? in the back of my mind there is a niggling concern was that me? most nights, i try not to think of you but most nights i fail perversely

shouldn’t drink failed with sleep gathering pieces since the thought of pale eyes worrying it is dumb to give up but the last time i saw her it ruined my guts drop our guard in the darkness in daylight i can’t gasp it open palms throw shade at november’s bend when she told me why she’s leaving i need be more resilient keep it all in the depths of my mind again does it matter what keeps us apart when it’s hurting does it matter what keeps us apart heed my breathing why is it strange that im wanting a part of yr life? there is something our old life could mean nothing but the details seem to matter to her feline saint honest whore im the hypocrite pleading to leave at yr door she blew smoke out my nose lent into the air resolved to let myself go since we all breathe the same oxygen thought it was time that we recycle it round since its all just an artistic experience i can recommend how this should end does it matter what keeps us apart drawn, shades of blue does it matter what keeps us apart doubts are divisible why is it strange that im clawing a part of yr life? there is something our old life could be anything but the details seem to matter to her does it matter what keeps us apart? it don’t matter does it matter? i don’t think it matters it is dumb just to quit when pale eyes are the only things i can see clear
