loved by you

come on closer

hear the words stumbling

out of my tied tongue

i sleep on clouds

and strangled myself for fun

it might take me months

to say this, but

i wanted to love someone like you

i wasn’t worthy

but i can be worthy now, i can try to be

i will stay if you promise you’ll never leave

promise me that you won’t fall in love again

that i’m the deep ocean and you’ll be drowning

that i’m full of flaws and jealousy

that i’m a failure and a fool

that everyone leaves in the end

but i can be loved by someone as good as you.

t.l.

the wrong things

the things i traded

for a supposedly ‘dream job‘

are getting bigger , heavier

they laid on top of me while i sleep

reminded me why i was here in the first place

that i got stressed, angry, numb and boring

working for the wrong jobs,

pleasing the wrong people

i wanna stop caring for the wrong things

but what if they matter to the people i love.

t.l.

stop overthinking and just do your fucking job.

cure(less)

i wanna be cured again

i wanna smile and not feel like

my face is melting down my neck

i wanna be strong, but i was born weak

i don’t wanna miss you, but i get sick

whenever you’re gone

i wanna forgive you, but does that mean

i don’t care anymore

i know you’re worried, but i’m more worried

about you (you’re leaving soon, aren’t you)

i don’t wanna be addicted to pain

but maybe i am.

t.l.
