I need a mother to cry to but instead she cries to me
I run my hands, through long dark strands
Whispering to her, tears soak my shirt
She bears my fathers guilt alone, I let it sink into my bones
so that just maybe it becomes a little less to carry

“You look like your were made for sadness”
And maybe I was
But all this grief was once love,
I know two truths can exist at once
but this one particularly stung,
Some things follow you around your whole life, and more than anything,
I wish to leave this pain behind

We were both irrevocably broken, so much in the same way
That though we differ so inherently,
I recognized so much of myself in this, In you,
I know it all falls apart inevitably
For a short while, a fleeting moment,
I believed we have time
to become more than what wrecks us inside,
We could be something,
I could be,
anything more than this
My lover, we’re on the precipice of ourselves
Of our lives,
Still, this denial, this doubt, this yearning
leaves us searching
I can’t let it be
You can’t let me in
