Favorite Quote:
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

- E. B. White


Tears
well up
in my eyes

I try
to look
at you

But I can’t

You flinch
when I sigh
and glare

I turn
to leave
but you say

Wait
But I can’t

And now it’s
your fault
my heart is broken

You say
behind me
that we can

Still be friends
Wait
But I can’t

And it’s hard
after this
to say

I’m okay
because of you
and I’m not sure

If we should
Still be friends
Wait
But I can’t

And then
you wonder
if you

Come back
I will
still care

And I won’t
If we should
Still be friends
Wait
But I can’t

And if you
decide
you made a mistake

Don’t expect
for me
to say

I would love
And I won’t
If we should
Still be friends
Wait
But I can’t

And you said
you would be there
when I need you

But where
are you know?
So now

I’ll never say
I would love you
And I won’t
And you said
We should
Still be friends
Wait
But I can’t

Because I
don’t want to

I like the context, but I feel like the spacing was a bit sketchy... overall good. Check out mine sometime?
