Description
Crossing your fingers doesn't
Mean you're not a liar

Admitting you're lost
Is not a weakness

Unless you try to get
Out instead of getting through

The unsaid hurts just as much
As the cruel remarks and scarring words,
And pretty words hurt worse when
They turn out to be lies

I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive

Why do you always retreat?

Why do you ask for my advice?

I can't help you if
You won't listen

It's not your fault that
No one else will talk about it
With you but it's not mine,
Either

I can't help you if
You crumple up your chances
And stomp on them till grape
Blood stains your bare feet

I can't help you if you
Treat your choices like a
Meaningless coin-toss, dice roll

I can't help you if you
Won't open your mouth.

I can't stop you from
Frantically reopening your wounds, all I
Can do is ask you to please stop. For me.

Why do you ask for my words
If you always lose them in the disarray and distraction?

I do not have supernatural powers,
I cannot lift a weighty boat to prevent it
From sinking

All I can do is tell you to
Jump overboard,
Because shining the brightest
Isn't always worth burning out
