Hurt With You

Folder: 
2017

I will always be breaking, combusting,

breaking down and breaking through,

you know so well I would rather hurt with you.

 

You need to stop using those words,

always the sorry and the need,

I can’t take either when I can barely breathe.

 

I need to stay, I need to leave,

I need a list of things I shouldn’t do,

cut off oxygen and crashing cars,

losing and finding and hurting you.

 

Tomorrow I might not be able to reach,

carving history, scribble skin on skin,

stomach drop with what you choose, begin.

 

I will always be sighing, stumbling,

sighing lies and sighing truth,

when I’m cold and so unable to shake you.

 

But I will always be breaking, combusting,

breaking down and breaking through,

you know so well I would rather hurt with you.
