hello,
you broken, twisted mess
in the ditch beside the busy highway.
please don't try to say that i pushed you love,
please don't say we didn't jump together.





I held your hand and you held mine, mid-flight
until i felt your fingers loosen,
and maybe your mind did loose a lot
and maybe my heart did come unstuck
but i'm sure that you don't know a single fucking thing
about who i am.





i wrote fiction,
i wrote lies for someone else until you thought they were mine
and maybe they were,
for a little moment..






come on girl
i promise, i wanted to catch you, i really did
and i still do a little
but i tied my hands long ago,
when i decided it was for the best
so here we are






don't let me hear you say i never loved you
don't let me hear you say i never hated you








but honestly
don't ever think they were you
i wasted enough ink on your bones
i'd love to touch you just to watch you flinch
because then i'd know





that

you

know

nothing

of

me
