a little too lonely for this

Folder: 
2023

I am a little too lonely

to be feeling this much

a little too nostalgic

to be running toward everything

I cannot hold you

while the black slips through my fingers

 

I am a little too jaded

I can’t find love in the corners anymore

a little too holy

to drag it all down my wrists for a new start

 

I am a little too behave

to be shaking up the guidelines

a little too quiet

to be yelling all alone

 

I am a little too girl

to be pretending something else

a little too okay

to be carrying a castle I have made

 

and the lonely I feel always

gets lost in the edits

crawling toward my karma

I’m a little too lonely for this
