To You
I'm sorry that I've always hurt you since day one.
I feel like I abuse it because I know I can't have your love.
I don't want it in the long run.
You make me feel better for a second.
But after an hour I'm dying and trying to be.
Many years ago I fell in love.
I wanted you by my side.
Honestly I thought you were the one.
What the fuck was I doing.
Those days where I looked at you from a distance.
We slow danced in each others arms.
Months past and I found you looking past my shoulder.
Dancing with a different girl at a piano I played.
What was this talk? All these other girls calling your name.
Here I stand waiting to be held and you only care for their needs.
I backed away.
Closed myself off.
OUT.
I want you gone.
Several years later I found myself speaking under my breath to you.
I paced my words gently as we fought our own diseases.
We wouldn't allow ourselves close enough.
Our lives were separate.
I ended up in a hole.
I was back on the ground.
You went down and up.
You went to hell.
You came back with something amazing.
Until now that night I messaged you.
We wanted to fuck.
We wanted to kiss.
We wanted to pull each other down under our hearts.
You have her.
I have him.
What the hell are we doing.
Why does my mind always collapse under your words.
I slid down until I realized what we were about to do.
I shut my mouth.
Blocked you up.
Closed you off.
And fucked my words toward you.
Now I'm upset for hurting you.
For closing you off.
What are we doing.
Fuck.
I really want to make love to you.
The person I first fell in love with.
