Finalized
Remember the way...
Soft lips,
Cherry balm,
Piercing eyes,
And I can't stay calm
It can't go wrong
My heart beat skips
From feeling her fingertips
And I lost myself cause I'm not that wise, it's my demise.
I became desensitized, demoralized, destabilized.
And I apologized but I still despise the way I was mesmerized,
By the overemphasized romanticized lies
That terrorize an otherwise sane part of my mind.
And I recognize and empathize with your cries,
But I have my own problems that you couldn't recognize.
And it took me a while to realize that I refuse to memorize the butterflies
When I'm forced to normalize my polarized position on whether or not I can still feel just so I can get a response from you
And honestly, now that I cut the tie I no longer feel paralyzed,
So go ahead and criticize, but let me say just
one
more
thing
...Don't be so surprised.
