There’s something about us
I finally understood.
I realised it in the moments between
The longing and the could.
You nestled in between the pillars
Of love I gave so freely.
It’s where I felt the disconnect
Between our bodies and our feelings.
Forcing the idea of something more
To get my happy ending.
I guess I got there in the end
But not the way I was expecting.
What is this? The fourth or fifth?
What a joke it’s become.
I push you away just to pull you back
Let’s just be fucking done.
My mind changes so often,
Were we even that bad at all?
Of course we were, the toxic waste
The truth in a cannonball.
An olive branch to massage my own ego
To feel like important lessons were learned.
But I learnt fuck all, except fuck you.
And now I’m glad the branch wasn’t returned.
Somehow I’m the wolf in this whole damn story
And you know what, I’ll gladly wear that crown.
Because our love perished in a fire long ago
I only wish I’d set fire to the whole damn town.
