Havoc

Something I wrote after watching an episode from a show.

She said she don't wanna make the same mistakes.

She says she don't know how to keep going- she's about to break.

She's got tears streaming down her cheeks.

I'm trying to figure out how to stop the leaks.

I want her to know she's not alone.

I want her to understand that she's always got a home.

So I desperately try to spit everything that comes to my dome-

And sound like my condolences are things that are well known.

She bites down on her lip, fingers in the hem of her shirt with a death grip.

I'm trying not to let her slip.

I'd give her my all- I promised to catch her if she falls.

She's been caged inside of four walls-

Padded rooms.

No view of the sun or moon.

So of course she feels like a loon.

So out of tune.

I try to cup her face in my palms before making a suggestion-

But she pulls away, saying she don't want to ruin my perfection.

I'm like- "I ain't perfect without you."

She says, "How can you love someone so broken? Loving me is like embracing doom."

"Then let Judgment Day come.

If I ain't with you my love, I'll just be shattered.

None of the bad past matters-

I'd rather-

Suffer with you than suffer without you.

I'd rather give you another chance-

I'd never doubt you.

Even if everything is fucked up-

I'd never abandon your touch.

Let me help you, you know you can give me your trust..."

She says:

"I know too much pain.

I'm so stained.

I'd only be another strain-

Misery and rain.

Don't you know that you deserve better?

I love you to the letter-

But I'll be damned if I become another negative stressor.

Each day I feel lesser and lesser-

And I don't wanna weigh you down,

When you try your hardest to lighten life's heavy loads into feathers."

She got up and showed me her back,

Walking away into the darkness,

Ready to be swallowed by the black.

I called out her name,

She only paused as if about to react-

But continued to step in the cold unknown,

Unable to let go of the past.
