I’m giving up on an image
Of me
Of you
Of us
Of everything I thought was real
Of everything I thought was love
I see the world now
Deep and dark
Nothing new to offer
Except pain
Except…
I don’t accept that
I don’t accept that my expectations are wrong
Deceived
Even though I’m small and we are so young
Even though it appears that this is all over
Even though…
My soul can’t take another wound struck so deep
Follow my dreams they said
All my dreams ever show are nightmares
Roads I never should have taken
Bridges you should have burned
