You tell me.. no. Such a simple word.
I am tethered, bound by regret and anger.
You are free, spirit and soul. I crave it.
Give me your freedom, please. I am lost.
Your voice is like the snap of smelling salts,
drawing me out from the succubial grasp of sleep.
I can be awake near you, I can stand to breathe when I'm with you.
You tell me no. You leave, and the clouds come back.
Repression has done them no kindness; they are darker. More angry.
Concentrated into a thunderstorm that will rock my mind for years to come.
You said No.

This is the point I get to time and time again
My fingers pulsate
                   My breathing quickens
                                    My heart tightens
because we just can't let our cynicism go
You see, everyone leaves
It's a fact
And just like the leaves on the deciduous trees
I was never meant to stay

And the more fond I grow of your company
The closer we get to that breaking conclusion
And instinctually
And hopelessly
I hold on for dear life
Because why must things be this way
Why can't our days consist of shy smiles
And matching coffee drinks
And hands held lightly
With your gaze being my favorite morning memory
I crave you

But timing is everything
And no one really gets what they want
It's not like we'll make it out alive, anyway
missing you hits me in waves and right when I think I'm swimming I drown again

I feel like I am one of those sad songs
nobody wants to hear at a party
because they wake up memories,
open wounds,
make you bleed inside
And because in a few moments they ****
Everything that’s left of you.

Because they hurt.

There's an old joke that goes,

"The Sun sees the earth and asks,

'How is it that she shines so?'
