To: Me

Emotions on a piece of paper,

I was never really good with this

To open up, let it go

I guess it'd be easier if dreams were

Just an arm's length away

 

But recently i've been falling asleep to requiems

And waking up to memories

There's nothing more humbling than

Feeling how it all slithers away

Like dust between your fingers

 

That's what I like about you

I never told you, but you were always good

With making yourself miserable

To build a beautiful life from dreamstuff and wants,

And then sit with that silly smile amidst the wreck

Whispering to yourself that you fucked it up again,

And like a bad habit you just stand up,

Making do after your own scortched earth tactic

 

Its 2022

You've grown wiser after that silly trip to

Find a cure in a foreign land

You had a rough patch after finally getting that 'no'

You so desperately needed inorder to move on

Maybe you moved on,

But I doubt it

It left an ugly scar in the shape of bags under your eyes

And a smile that says 'No, just tired'

 

Maybe you should change, my friend

And maybe not.

Whom am I to say?

I'm your biggest fan

I was rooting for the underdog since it all started

And I know the futility of it all

This letter, the honeyed words

Go, die and be born again

This is the only thing you are good at
