it is still beautiful
that i got to call so many hearts my home

“they don’t mean to hurt you, you’re just difficult to

love”

“they just want what is best for you, you’re making

this up in your mind”

she doesn’t always make sense

but sometimes she’s awfully convincing

~the voice inside my head

stop allowing me to accept

the knife you see in their side

is a reasonable excuse

for them to put two in mine

let me borrow the parts of you

that i need to make me whole

but never take all of you

why is it so difficult for someone to stay?

i want to exist in a world

where love isn’t an emotion

it is a promise

where i love you for tonight

means i will be there tomorrow

please tell me

it isn’t so difficult to stay

thirteen fourteen fifteen

sixteen maybe it takes more than ten seconds

to let it go
