Like, I'm already home. And I love you.
Like, What did you do today? And I love you.
I was deleting old messages when I came across our first I love you
No fancy words.
No metaphors of how much you want to breathe me in
Just that. I love you.
So simple and easy it doesn't even need to be said.
It feels like an extension of our every sentence.
Unthinking in its cadence, it would leak at each turn of our conversation
Like, I'm already home. And I love you.
Like, What did you do today? And I love you.
Now, it sounds like I am forcing you to say yes to something you don’t want to be a part of.
As if I am a warden to this jail cell I still call love.
How I was the one who've placed the lock on those shackles.
I can almost hear the grating sound screaming for freedom
But you still hide the bruises on your wrist with your false smile
And when, emboldened, I did ask if you still love me?
I would count the seconds before you answer
Every second is a ticking time bomb of how soon this relationship will inevitably end.
Your indecisiveness is the only adhesive that keeps us together.
But I've already deciphered the meaning behind those eyes
I am repulsed that I am reduced to this beast who cannot let you go
I know that you only endure because you still feel obligated to make me better
How I used to have days when I sleep with my depression and you were the only reason I even leave my bed
But I won't let you pause your life to wait for me any longer
Please don’t be guilty that you're going to make me cry
There were far more days that the pebbles in my jar overflows and you are the reason why
Do not worry about this silly girl anymore
Let me unburden you, my love
I have left the keys behind the dying pot of plant we used to care for
There are just some things that we can't keep from dying
And this time our careless hands not only killed the plant but more
I have missed those unburdened I love you's
But by far I have missed your smiles more
Be boundless, my love.
I hope you smile for me one last time as you take the key and remove the chains
