If it were just us
just the two of us
Drifting in empty space
in a world all alone
Without our past holding us back
Without the society that we were born into
Without the pride that hides my pain
Without your stupid worried eyes
One where I wouldn’t feel so frustrated
One where you wouldn’t have to save me all the time
One where I am not scared of you
One where you weren’t scared of me
Where I don’t say what I don’t mean
Where we could speak without ruining everything
Where you would understand me
And I could understand you
A place I could feel sorry for the shit that I’ve done
A place you could forgive me
Even if I will never show it
That place is where I long to be
Even when I push you away
Why do you still run after me?
Why don’t you hate things that I hate about myself?
Why do you still care about me?
I can never find the words
That will ever be enough
To make us forget
The shit that I’ve done
Please hate me and stay away
Please don’t forgive me so easily
I don’t deserve your forgiveness
Nor you smiling at me
Leave me behind and don’t look back
You never should have chased me
Because you are something greater
Something greater than I will ever be
Why don’t you hate me?
Don’t look at me that way
You shouldn’t want to stand next to me
I never took your hand
I told you that you meant nothing to me
That you were useless
Yet, you never listen
staring so stubbornly back at me
Why don’t you mean nothing to me?
You should forget about me
You should hate me
Just leave me alone
I hate you…
But not truly
I hate that you won’t stop reaching out for me
Stop trying to save me
From my ego
Pride
Jealousy
I never ask for you to save me
I am a ticking time bomb
Waiting to explode
at everyone around me
You don’t understand me
But how can I say that
When I never understood you in the first place
But if that place could exist
I would say
That I hope
You never stop
Trying to grab my hand
You are my childhood friend
I can’t express my feelings
No one ever taught me how
So, all I can do is yell at the people around me
You always got the blunt
Of my built-up emotions
Because you wouldn’t stay away
You wouldn’t leave me be
I’ll never say these words
You were my friend
You deserve much better
I sorry
But please
Stay
Don’t
Leave
Me
Behind
