I’m not sure why I did it again
But I held my hand out to a stray
Who’s never known love
Only knows how to run away
I try to get closer
I try to gain their trust
They’re skittish in nature
So I try to readjust
Inching to close the distance
Maybe show them affection
But they retreat away
From any form of connection
February 24th, 2025
I felt the butterflies again
But they came with fears
Because your lips kissed me
For the first time in two years
You asked me on a date
The moment I’ve anticipated
Got my hopes up so high
And then retreated
You’re falling back
Like I’m somehow scary
When you’re the one
Who had pursued me
I’m tired of playing this game
Do you even want to stay
Because every time I let you in
You run the other way
2004
I’ve got nothing to live for
Nothing to die for
Everything to run for
Everything to hide for
I can’t stand it anymore
I’ve got nothing at all
You took the extra step and let me fall
Turned on me behind my back
The pressure gained and felt like a smack
Blurry vision and runny mascara
Suddenly life seems so unfair
Rumors surround me like a wave of whispers
I’ve never felt more like a drifter
