   pass out like a transition
Can't i just sleep forever?
Sometimes it feels like i might as well be dreaming.

Some people only love you like a complex
Some people only touch you like a scar
Some people only know how to speak in whispers

Some days I only know how to sing or scream
With nothing lower or in between
I walk outside and breathe just to remember I still can
The dirt still smells like him
The sunlight still smells like cobwebs
Childhood homes, childhood beds
Storage units for ghosts I wish I didn’t know

And I’m tired of writing letters to hooded houses I don’t live anymore
And tracing paths to all the Edens I’ve fallen from
And eating apples to chase away all the serpents I wish I wasn’t
I feel the ground under my feet to keep from falling
I feel the God in my chest to keep from running

And I stay
And I go
And I
run


I still wish I was a better person--or at least a wiser one but nothing worth having ever comes automatically. You can't adopt yourself better, can't marry yourself better, can't date yourself better. i wasn't lonely until someone told me i should be. don't want to be 17 anymore.
