You Vs Me.

calamansourjah

I loved you before I even had the guts

And I found you pressed between the pages

Of hopelessness and ruts.

As that old song told us to shut up and dance

Our feet couldn’t keep up with the expectations

Of being young and entranced.

In the middle of resentment and fixation

Overlooked sparks drove us to disrepair

And the damage drowned our reputation.

‘What do you mean?’ became our anthem

And lies became as commonplace as breathing

The words ‘I love you’, I just wished sometimes you meant them.

I stuck by you through everything and more

It felt like the whole world versus us

But it turned out you were against me too, what stacked odds to endure.

‘Seems things are more complicated than you let on’

The statement tumbled from an innocent mouth

‘I guess I forget’ I reply, apathetic responses for what I've done.

Our time finally ran out on a bright sunny day

All the monsters had no where to hide anymore

And we couldn’t keep the inevitability at bay.
