If I called you

If I called you

Right now

In the middle of the night

If I called you in tears

And said I don't know

I don't know how to do this anymore

Maybe I never did

One second I'm fine

The next

The entire universe is crushing me

Destroying me

If I called you

And said the words I never say

If I called you and said I need help

I know I didn't love you

I know I said I did

I know now how it felt

How it felt to be left by the person you loved

Unconditionally

More than anything

And I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry I did that to you

And I'm so sorry I didn't know but I pretended I did

If I called you and said

I don't know what's happening

To me but

What if I'm not worth it

Then what happens

Would you still pretend you didn't care?

    Noise

    Warming up

    Keys

    Fingerings

    Chatter

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it

  • Cornered

    Cornered

    I put my hands up

    Like you taught me

    Only now

    You're the one attacking

    "Helping" because

    You "just want me to feel better"

    And I braced for impact

  • Distracted and angry

    I'm distracted.

    Why did I let myself become so reliant

    Dependent

    So stupid

    Ugh I'm so mad.

    So mad.

    I let myself become distracted by silly things I could want

    I let myself want them
