we live in a beautiful world
by ideaofcrying on December 13, 2010i know that i am just torturing myself
that when someone says they won't out of your life
and it is too painful to love you anymore
you should probably just let them go
and so during the day when i'm wasting my time i can forget
leave behind the girl who once felt your pulse in her cheek,
and set her somewhere safe, like words on a page
but still, no matter how many times i think i have removed her
there are always little traces
suddenly, when i can't sleep and it's 7 in the morning
i find a fog corner of my memory where the sun is rising
and i tip toe downstairs like a little kid
watching you sleep safe in my house, all tucked in
before i wake you with a kiss and join your warmth in the sheets
when the tears come, i always think of you, regardless
i know i shouldn't have texted you
i sounded desperate, alone, depressed
all the reasons you left after i did
i think i wanted you to chase me
i wanted to push you to the very edge and shake your soul
i needed you to defy everything, to move the world just to be by my side
and you didn't because you are human
because you still have a life outside of us
one that is maybe even better
i can't deny you that
but sometimes the selfishness gets the best of me and i just need to reach out and feel...
something
not reassurance, not love, not affirmation, just something
to know you are still there
still alive, still breathing
that your eyes are still freezing blue
that the memory of me is still locked away inside them
i always say sorry when i interfere
i don't want to be a mess for you
me and you, we were always supposed to be easy
best friends, a real connection
we had the rest of the world together
it scares me to work this hard
the way that you had to, the way that you did
because you loved me forever
it that was meant to be enough
i think that in the end, we will get over the times we hurt each other
compared to the love, it was bruises
i will never forget the time you told me you dreamed that i was melissa and you were ben dubiel sobbing at my funeral
you will never forget the beginning of my freshman year when i came and visited and i asked if you were over me and you hesitated long enough for me to know the real answer before you said yes
you are my growing up experience
you have seen me, been inside, in a way nobody else can ever imagine
blood, skin, bones, sweat, cum, tears
all barriers of the anatomy broken
even if i have never been happy, i was always least lost with you
i'm sorry i didn't see that until after i ran away
there is a sick twisted part of me that still believes in our someday
can you imagine? after all we've been through
a house, some kids, a beautiful life in the california sun
me and you doing anything
i know it's so ridiculous
but i hope sometimes at night when you're alone and can't sleep
you will shut your eyes and hear the sound of my voice in your head
telling you how much i still believe you
