"don't let it define you"


there's 2 people that exist in this world

there's you

and there's me

 

I overthink and cry to sleep

you go to sleep and lie

I tell you to rest, as I hold you dear

I can't escape the fight between my breath or drown in tears

 

you're like the cold, you like the cold

I like the warmth I felt like you were the sunlight

I thought you were the moon, but you were the sun

you inflamed my heart, it cracked when you broke us apart


I needed water

I didn't want to waste my own time, trying to swim in your lies

I wanted to spend our lives on us

I'd rather you buy a water bottle and take every last sip

I needed water

I didn't want to drown when I knew you wouldn't save me at all

you disappeared, when I became despair

because I needed you


The author's comments:

I wrote this inspired by my feelings about my first love, when I felt bright. My works that are inspired by him are expressively messy. But I love messy, and writing about messy feelings.
