only realizing now i’ve

run out of time

thinking back to the time

when you were mine

when it was us

as each-other’s backbones

when i couldn’t stop

staring at my phone

pretty quickly i

messed it all up

now searching for a replica

of our time as one

i don’t deserve it

but you stayed

so maybe you’ll let me earn it

for now it feels

like our time has faded

it’s my worst fear

but eventually

this hold you have on me

will grow senior citizen

it’ll crack and die

and i’ll be left to mourn it

thinking about the hatred

it had towards me

nothing to do, because

your barrier from hurt

is pushed back up

towards me

don’t know if i

can take it

so i’ll whisper

when i state it

that our time

has faded
