So here we are.
and it's live/die/live, but this empire I've created can only last so long.
Close my eyes when it crumbles
I cannot escape this
Wreckage of my carefully constructed walls.
Thank you for reminding me that there was something beating inside that was
Something
Close
To
A
heart.
And thank you for reminding me what it feels like to fall.
Battering tiny fists on tinnier voices
Your constant presence is a brick through my ever-effervescent window.
You took away my common sense
[cents? And to every penny saved is it plausible that I earn you back?]
Forget-me-nots and let-me-downs and want-so-cripplings
I hate you for the easy way you roll off my tongue
Nothing should ever be that simple.
