I don’t hate you anymore
I’m done knocking at your door
I could write a thousand songs
to tell you what I want
but I couldn’t read your mind
and you couldn’t read mine
I’m sorry for the things i couldn’t feel
for waiting
for breaking when i thought i couldn’t heal
I’m still a masochist it seems
you’re still caught up inside a dream
a life i never could’ve lived
a piece of sanctuary
i couldn’t give
My hands aren’t shaking anymore
I’m done picking at this sore
I won’t rearrange my thoughts
to hide from what we wanted
so i’ll stop taking up your time
i know you’re done with mine
I’m sorry for the things i thought about you
the anger
from danger of the things that I might do
to me to you
you’re still too hard on yourself
i’m still not always lucid with myself
a bit overwhelmed lately
not quite so old
as I might think
i’ll forgive you
forgive me
i’ve been a little tired you see
wrestling myself
messing with my health
taking out the dark
dreary worn out parts
of this broken heart machine
trying to keep it clean
from pictures of your hands
nights i could barely stand
thank god for gravity
pulling me down
i’m not quite on the ground
but i’m getting close
and i’m getting closer
maybe it’s closure
maybe it’s closure
maybe we’re closer
to closure
