Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god
I'm Leaving
Words are too small to convey the heaviness dying upon my chest. Walk me to the stars, explain to me the way they blink. Explain to me, until I understand, even if it takes all night. I have forever. You have the evening. We have the twilight.
Whenever I close my eyes, I'm almost sure you won't be there when I open them again. Already so young, already so scattered to the wind and aging in the sunlight. This writing, these moments, they make me thirst. I cannot be quenched, I was raised to keep my mouth shut. I go days without speaking. I'm so hungry for conversation.
I pretend I have a point, to keep my life from lacking meaning. The letters you send me, so full of sin, I save them for the next time I am starving for meaning.
Dead in my world, I press my lips together and erase the sound. I cannot speak properly to begin wiht; the sound of my voice goes extinct. I let the tears grow, water them with vagabond memories until they droop and spill from my eyes. Why can't they understand? Life is not for everyone.
And I think I could leave and live among the stars. Until I pack my bags and realize I have nowhere to go.
