Friction
You are starting to annoy me
I read about people like you all the time, but shit
Never thought it’d be true of you
Don’t tell me I don’t understand when you don’t even know who you are
Come on now, is it really that complicated?
You’re addicted
And that’s not okay
You think because you hide behind your bedroom door it makes the tension go away?
Not. That. Easy.
Go on not speaking to me
Go on not acknowledging the silence
You’re only making it worse
I know what you want
And I’m not gonna apologize for not giving it to you
I’ve apologized for years
For all the wrong reasons
And at all the wrong times
If you wanted to let this go, you would have done it already
You hold on for a reason
Maybe you secretly like that fact that it makes me feel guilty
But not anymore
You can keep you secrets
And you can keep your drama
And you silent shame
And everything else between us
Bottle it up, wear it on your sleeve
Whatever
I don’t feel guilty anymore
You can keep that, too
But especially the secrets
I don’t seem to need them the way that you do
