Literature Text

tell me all your secrets
before you even learn my middle name.
break in my hands
and cut my palms wide open.

i'll keep making you smile
while you drain what's left of me away.
you're blacked out in the bed beside me,
crying for all the things you can't change.

money doesn't make the world go 'round,
but it damn sure greases the axles.
but that's an honest truth
that i'm not prepared to tell you.

love is losing meaning
and i make you feel weak,
but what is weakness
when you're already shattered?

so go on and leave the way you do,
my heart hidden away in your pockets,
crushed like the last cigarette in the pack.
ask me again what's wrong.

you break down in my arms
and i can't find it in myself to be vulnerable.
because i am the waves keeping you afloat,
but you are keep dragging me down.
you hold onto me when you're drunk, but you never just hold me.

i want out of this relationship, but i also never want to leave you.

it's ironic how often i call you a mess.

you are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins,
holding onto yourself the best you can.
you are the smell before rain.
you are the blood in my veins.

call me a safe bet; i'm betting i'm not.
