Is it future, or is it past?
I was sinking with you
On top of my shoulders
So I let you go
And allowed myself
To finally swim free
I was sinking with you
I thought I was strong enough
To host us both
I'd boast the role of shelter
To your inevitable pain
That endless rain
When all your hope
Came crashing down
I'd play the clown
And try and turn that frown
Into a slightly more smiley position
You were never an imposition
I'd always sit to listen
To all your indecisions
And all of the flavors
That they came in
But the depths
Of this toxic
Relationship
Was overwhelming
I couldn't keep us
Both from drowning
I'd spend forever
Playing the umbrella
Trying to shelter
You from your pain
I almost forgot what it felt like
To deal with my own rain
And when your rain came
And took aim at me
And you took a can of petrol
Figuratively
And burned the Bridge to friendship
Literally
It's not like I didn't
See your storm coming from a mile away
Over time I'd seen your pointless anger
Your kneejerk reactions
Destroy so many friendships
That I kinda just got used to it
We all kinda got used to it
We tiptoed around your insecurities
And tried to accommodate
Your anxieties
And tried to alleviate
Your Suicidal Tendencies
And then you basically
Turned on me and we
With your words
Your words
Miss representing me
Your words
Trying to turn people against we
Your words
Eagerly
Eating away at me
Ripping at my skin
Leaving me to bleed
Out
Making me doubt
My own character
My ethics
Am I so full of bull shit
That even I can’t see
What is clearly
Obvious to you
But not me?
You
You checked yourself into
The heroes quarters
And vilified my every step
While I sat there
Refusing to elevate you
To the list of my regrets
I'd rather put you on a shelf
With all the things I'd rather forget
But I ain't upset
Not anymore
These feelings ain't raw
No more tears will fall
On this bloodstained floor
And as you continue to push
And try to get me to bite
I flat out refuse
To engage in your fight
I won’t feed your screen grabs
So you can tell others that you’re right
And you won't be on my mind
When I can't sleep tonight
Now
This poem isn't dedicated
To just one of you
But this IS dedicated to many of you
So to you from me and we
From the bottom of our hearts
Regardless of the past
We just wanna say
Alright!
We hope you're doing alright?
We hope you find the happiness
You're looking for in life
But at the same time
You're still a bunch of dick heads
And you can go fuck yourselves
On top of my shoulders
So I let you go
And allowed myself
To finally swim free
I was sinking with you
I thought I was strong enough
To host us both
I'd boast the role of shelter
To your inevitable pain
That endless rain
When all your hope
