Wouldn't Want to Need You
Folder:
2020 Break the path
split the ocean
You’ll never know what I need
how I wrap you along the outside
of all the circuses in my mind
Rain on me
in these half-full sunsets
so I can’t keep something that lasts longer than my heartbeat
so I can’t keep the snowstorm that threatens to burst from you
You’re a stubborn lantern in my head
but even at midnight I
wouldn’t want to need you
wouldn’t want to need you
I’ll go walking in the dark alone
no hand in mine and I
wouldn’t want to need you
wouldn’t want to need you
I open my eyes and take a breath
and pour a glass of milk and my cells divide
and without warning
the ceiling shakes
I need to forget
I need to remember
I need everything you can never give me
until I write you out of my words
You’re half the reason I don’t speak
My voice is a warning I
wouldn’t want to need you
wouldn’t want to need you
Spend time spend time with me
I still watch the clock I
wouldn’t want to need you
wouldn’t want to need you
