See you sometime soon.
Knowing that the rain
kisses your skin more than I do,
knowing the sun
has reached more of you than I will.
Feeling your skin on mine,
but not feeling nearly enough;
time is irrelevant when I’m with you,
but time seems like the only relevance
you’ll ever have with me.
I could be overthinking.
But what is the overthinker to the haunted if not a burden?
“I wish you really knew me”
No I don't.
Setting up this format,
Trying to tell you how I feel,
Shaking at the thought of you
Finally figuring out what all these words
Really mean.
“I never wanted to be your angel, your good boy."
I did and-
I still do.
I want to be everything to you.
"You're an attention seeker."
I never claimed not to be;
I never claimed to be clean,
I never told you I was good.
"But everyone thinks like that."
But, like everyone,
You lied to yourself,
saw what you wanted.
Heard the screams,
assumed I cried wolf.
I warned you.
You brushed it off as nothing.
“You’re good,”
“everyone likes you.”
I am not
and no one truly does.
