Human
I tell you I am well aware how this world works but please don’t be human and let me down
Don’t tell me that you can’t come around anymore because it’s an inconvenience to you
What about me?
It’s not just you who’s hurting
It’s the one you’re saying is broken and not worth your time
The one you’re freezing out, burning your bridges to
The one you’re throwing off the edge of sanity to be tired by the insane
But my brain can’t take that pain
Can’t deal with that stress that mess that pulls and pushes the wretched, such as my soul
It’s too much to bear
So please don’t be human and let me down
Because I’m not strong enough to go through this on my own
My wings can’t catch me the way you do in your brazen arms, so warm and protective
Just catch me
I’m afraid that you can’t hear me over your loud thoughts of abandonment
But just stay a little longer to see if I’m okay
I like this stable feeling, but you can’t tell because you aren’t listening
So before you give up on me
I’ll give up on you because in your eyes it’s okay to leave because I’m already gone
