And all i wanted was a sense of safety
when the world is falling
and the days turn over
and there's pills for happy
it gets too hard to believe in anything
touch is promising
the tangible, the solid
body heat, physical contact
that was all i could feel anymore
so for a week it was perfect
when i love, i radiate
everything inside me becomes magnified
i am fixing the realities inside my head
so i don't want to sleep my life away
i need to believe that i am still here
rewrite the truths
replace the losses
when this world is all cliffs and leaps and sidewalk cracks
all that's left is moments
the irony is the way i expect these words to resonate
when it is words most of all that have broken me
i hate the promises
i hate forever
people are like planets, you need a thick skin
everybody has their own orbits
just because you give your heart
does not mean that you will be met with anything to stand on
maybe i should go back to swallowing
my whole life, i am the girl that takes and takes
i only wanted to be the sweetest girl
i only wanted everybody else to feel okay
to make up for the fact that i never really have
center me
make me substantial
if i break and break and break and break
all i ask is that there actually be pieces
and not just fractions of dust
make me beautiful
