I loved her (a friend)
i thought id be bitter forever,
that in spite my words would crash hearts
and end up leaving them wounded like mine was,
but the anger, that once was sadness,
turned out to be just a phase
not like me loving every detail of your hands
more like that time i only ate salt crackers for lunch
or the time i obsessed over a band i have listened to in months
i thought i had forgotten how to love
that my brain rewired and my destiny was to be only me
and for a while it felt like a relieve
i no longer had to try to be lovable or even good
i had given up all sense of morality and only worried about myself
became self absorbed and felt enaumored by my own words
became my own best friend, my own lover even
and the nights i would pass convincing myself in front of the mirror
while listening to those three same songs that made me feel like a god
only contributed to this sense of higness that i had felt before
but only that in that time, now dead, me feeling special was given by your pretty hands
and once i connected the dots, that i was trying to become not me, but what you were for me
i stopped all that madness
and the mirrors were more gentle
though i cant stop looking for your shape in the crowds
and sometimes i shake at the tought of your sight in front of mine
i put your favorite books on my shelf
but not because you love them
but because made me love them too
when i dress sometimes i hear your voice saying
"no dont wear that, they wont like that"
i stop for a second and stare at the box of letters
which of none are yours anymore
and put that pink dress on
but i dont fasten the buttons with anger anymore
i get it now, all that meaness came from love
and maybe it sounded better in your mind
and it didnt sound half as pretty in mine
but i get your intentions, even if youre gone
even if all that remains is the memories of your voice
and the thought of the black shirt with a pink raibow i made you buy at tj max
maybe i told you how to live and didnt realize
or maybe i dont even cross your mind
but to this day i lay down in my bed
and i feel the memorie of your hand over mine
and yours was so cold all the time
and mine is too, but you never said a word about that
silence was enough
and i didnt need so many words as i do now
to feel a little bit understood
to feel like i am real
cause with you life felt so frantic yet so neat
and i cried a lot when you were here
but i cried even more when you left
and now i dont cry that much
cause that spite filled the void that you left
not only in my heart
but in my stomach
my eyes, my mouth, my mind
everytime i made plans thrity years ahead
i saw you there
maybe thats what you do when you are young and this is all you know
but you changed my views of the world
i was dumber before i met you
more naive, gentlier, nicer, more afraid too,
and though my skins is painted red everytime i speak in public
at least i do and not so much with a shaky voice
cause is tarted owning it up
and with you feelings came llike storms
and left like spring, as long as they weren about you and me
and just like that every single thing i felt was frozen
without me taking notice
i was left wondering why it felt so wrong
you leaving, i mean
not so much the whole deal of being alone,
but i stopped eating
i stopped sleeping
and now i eat too much
i sleep a lot
and i cant really say i am better now that i dont eve now if you remember my name
now that i dont know of you shake at the thought of me as i do of you
though everybody arond us swered that once this was over the sun would seem brighter
i think i blamed a lot on you
but i did try to fix it
putting myself out there with my heart in my hand
asking for you to take ma back
replacing you with her
but she isnt enough
silence with her is uncomfortable
she had to guess my thoguhts and she never guesses right
you did, always, and you weren't the best at ging adive
but it feels like at least i had a pilar to rely on when i was shaking
and now i don't
i dont feel secure
and for the first time in forever its nout about me and my thoughts
this messy body that ive claimed to hate since i was 2 feels like the only place that wont come down crumbling if the end was to come soon
and with you, yes i felt vulnerable i maybe i wanted to die mos of the time, i didnt like myself that much
but thats because i dont think i was being genuine
i was playing role, that i wont say i was forced to play
cause at times i felt euphoric, and it was messy but i love mess
only because you werte there to tidy it up, i always felt good taking out the garbage that you picked up
i loved doing our dirty laundry after you picked up from around
i didnt mind cutting my hands by accident with the pieces of shattered glass that youd swipe from the floor
but now i have to do it all in my own
no pilar, no hand to hold, no home
when you were here everything seemed to be like a live or die situation
and everytime you'd say "its not the end of the world"
and it felt annoying at times
like you didn't get me
like you didn't care
but you were always right
i didn't die, and it wasn't precisely bacuse of your advice
yet i get it now
i love being too muhc, i love feeling a lot
and sure, it was fun
until it wasn't
until the mess started coming from you
and of course you weren't gonna pick up thr shattered glass that your threw
you wouldn't ask how i got wounded
and the world shaking started becomign a routine
and the clokcs ticking didnt mean anything
and i was so sad
and everybody would say "its ot the end the end of the world"
but their voice didn't sound like yours
they didnt even try to understand
for a second i think i died, i dont remember months
i can perfectly recall so many days of agusut
and september
and november
but then i spent all of december drunk, i think
and there were other people, of course
but ive never liked spoken words
and i started talking a lot
so people would take notice
i understood, with you i had to try to be loved
but never seen, even when mad you would always see me
and now people dont love me, they also dont see me
and dont care to ask
and im not saying everybody is bad
or the world is cruel
everyone must feel this right?
its just hard, knowing that i had somethign that would make me feel so high all the time
taht i never had to try drugs to feel at peace
that i did cry a lot
and my stories were childish and i knew good from wrong
but now i dont
and i do get high
ive quitted drinking cause my dad is a drunk
but you didnt even have a dad
and you came out just right
very neat, tidy, not so nice, but your hair came into itself in the long run
and id like to know how you feel about it now
cause i avoid seeing pictured of you
i would rather not hear your name
but i think f you all the time
and i wish i could still be your friend
everytime i said i hated you didnt mean it
you were the first thing that made me feel seen and taught how to see the world
and if i think too much about the way you spoke to me before
i can see that, though you were enough, i didnt feel the need to know more, you did, because i didnt offer you what you offered me, i was like bagagge and i was only fourteen
i get it now, cause nobody deals with me anymore, i am my own saviour, and because of that i think i can be your friend again
and maybe i will be enough this time
im not angry, i didnt say that last line in spite
im not sad, or that sad, so i dont lie
i want to love again
maybe you, maybe somebody else
somebody that would hold my hand
and it can be yours, or somebody whos also very cold
or maybe a very warm hand for a change
at this point i cant be so demanding
it will alway be you i look for in others, but that you is probably dead and there arent two hearts that are the same, i get it now, i can love somebody else, you wont be mad, right?
