you stand before me, pretending the world is so small, cradling your own head, while i weep. you kneel before me, making false promises of something better..
if i thought it would matter
i would
take your
hand
but it doesn't.
if i thought it would help
you might
see me
try
but you're just as lost.
if i believed your thoughtful lie
i would
tell you
why
but you already know.
if you felt what i do
you might
understand
now
but you can't.
if i wanted you to stay
believe me
you
would..
i don't, so.. i'll just hope the universe
swallows
you
whole.
