your words cause my insides to bleed, red being all I can see
your laugh infects my veins, I’m going to be sick forever
how can I live with knowing you won’t ever love me back?
even so, there’s something so beautiful about unrequited love
devoting yourself to someone that won’t ever feel the same
just like the infinite stars in the sky
you look up to them, find them beautiful and mesmerizing
but they don’t know who you are and they don’t care
it’s so hard to remain happy when you’ll vanish any second now
when I’m asleep you visit my dreams
becoming the savior I’ve always needed, whispering words I need to hear
but reality pulls me away from you and I’m lone once again
I flinch at your haunting hand trying to help me up
because it’s for me to hold, not for me to kiss
tingling fingers ripped away from my heart
I’m never enough when it comes to you
just a second, maybe third option for your grieving heart
I see the sun in your eyes and you see convenience in mine
but I’ll always collect whatever you give me, framing it on my walls
so kiss me like you never meant to
burning my tongue with false hope and lies
because even if you only want me as a pawn in your game
at least I’ll have you in a way

-your touch melting me but my skin too stubborn to feel it
