It is my tragedy to have you as my enemy
Once upon a time, you loved me dearly
Sweeter than I prefer until it turned bitter
Everything soured, words could've been phrased better
But once a year, like an eclipse, we'll be back
Trying to touch those hands, tiptoeing around the cracks
You'd pour salt in my wounds and I'd offer you a smile
It is my tragedy, to have a taste of you for a while.
We're here again, stuck in the same place
With flames in my eyes, tears streaking through your face
I can see the tension you carry, the way your shoulders sag
All I did was raise your red flags
I can't be your hero, can't love you the way you want me to
So why won't you go, why not leave too?
Why won't you fight? You deserve someone better
Don't weigh yourself down with me, I'm a monster
Believe what you believe, but I can't be, I can't be better.
I watch the pebble skips in the water
As my heart flips, flips, flips
The ghost of your touch, my knees waver
And I weep, weep, weep.
Maybe it's time to burn those unsent letters
Let my past go through smoke and embers
And the walls you breached should be once again fortified
Regain my dignity, my freedom, my pride
Though I love you and you'll always have a piece of my heart
It is time that I move on, move forward, and restart.

My cousin made me bookmarks with quotes from my favorite characters and people. 📖🔖📚💙
My words might be beautiful, but they are empty
Devoid of soul, devoid of feelings, a low hanging fantasy
I use it as traps, trying to catch strangers' hearts
Trying to cram those pieces into my chest, hoping mine would start
My hands are so red, I have crossed too many lines
Does my guilt absolves me? Do I still have the right to call this pain mine?
As my self-made ghosts roam around this false cemetery,
As my body sinks with the weight of the burden I chose to carry,
Can I still forgive myself before this imaginary coffin turns real?
For all the wounds I've inflicted, for all the wounds I never learned to heal.
Does my love make you feel good?
Does it make you feel things you thought you never would?
A slave to your evey whim
Offered my light so yours won't dim
Is this all we are?
The moon and the dying star
Is this what you meant when you promised me something real?
When I have nothing left to give, will you love me still?
Do you make me feel good?
Not anymore, but I wish you would, I wish you would.
I want to write everything that doesn't make sense
About you, the moonlight, the fence
But even if I did manage to put them into words
It won't be different, still the same repetitive chords.
