the words dangle but
never touch
they are shapes to fill
your darkness
why can't i solidify
and fade away
maybe you'll die alone
hiding pride
and a broken heart
but maybe not,
there's so many of us in line
you'll never run out
but all the words that
tried to touch you
and all the times
i tried to love you
you said maybe later
and ran away
too full of yesterday
too full of everything
violently in your head
hanging, staying too long
there's no deal, nothing's wrong
but i've never seen you smile
so much as the 5 minutes
you suspended your disbelief
it complicates everything
open the floodgates
yeah... maybe not.
