sometimes i just want to


sometimes i just want to destroy 

myself.

i know this is wrong,

you,

this,

us.

wrong.

but look at how right it feels.

lips locked 

fingertips entwined,

baby if it's between two,

pick the second

because if loving her was set in stone

i wouldn't even be an option.

life slams the most unexpected things onto 

you.

& God knows i've accepted with

open arms.

but baby let me know 

when to step down, back away.

i know when my presence is 

not needed.

& i'll walk away because

happy endings

are never mine.
