Random Poem:

distance feels so much safer
mouthblock

where did it all begin
 1
who remembers
 2
if not we
 3
 
 
but last night in my sleep
 4
you came back to me
 5
or is it that you never left
 6
 
 
if only i wasn't the one leaving
 7
all the way backwards thinking
 8
what i should've done
 9
who i should've been
 10
 
 
those feelings we lock away inside
 11
still leaving the smiles on the surface
 12
because distance it feels so much safer
 13
 
 
i hate when it happens and it happend
 14
 
 
i can't talk with you if you don't talk back
 15
if you don't say anything it all goes black
 16
leaving those fucked up feelings
 17
 
 
heart nailed to the floor and eyes to the ceiling
 18
 
 
i miss you i don't miss my friends
 19
i'm used to being on my own as i am
 20
i'm used to having no real friends
 21
 
 
who the fuck are friends if you weren't one
 22
 
 
you drank away my love
 23
i was holding around your legs
 24
and you just stood there
 25
naked
 26
or in your underwear
 27
i just couldn't let you go
 28
 
 
i hope you quenched your fucking thirst because i haven't
 29
i don't wish it to anyone
 30
by now i've stopped wishing anyway
 31
 
 
and everything falls so far away
 32
because of distance
 33
because distance it feels so much safer
 34
 
 
fuck this shit
 35
