If I could

(Inspired by Astronomy by Conan Gray) 

I'd walk you out if I could 

Open and close the door ever so gently 

Hold your hand as we slowly say goodbye 

Maybe give you a kiss right before you must drive away 

And we'd talk about how one day, you'll surely stay 

But I know I can't. 

I can't hold your hand and walk you out and kiss you one more time

I can't say goodbye slowly, savouring every last feeling I can get from you 

Not even a last sip of the sweetness you gave me 

I'll kick you out just so you don't run away 

Throw you out before you can go bad 

 But I wish I didn't have to 

I wish I didn't know what was coming next 

I wish I didn't have to avoid it 

I wish I didn't have to let you go.

Yet here I stand, helplessly still as you run from the life we took away

Wishing, hoping, begging you meant it when you said "one day I'll stay"

    I sit 

    I sit and 

    I sit and think 

    I sit and think and 

    I sit and think and wonder 

    I sit and think and wonder and 

    I sit and think and wonder and worry

    today, i let my brother spray me with a hose 

    and it reminded me of that time at camp,

    when we jumped in the pool, still in our clothes 

     

    it reminded me of water balloon fights, 

  • The Battle

    He attacks me suddenly 

    Erupts like booming thunder

    And all I do is wonder

    If things will ever change 

    Because I feel his heavy power

    Quick hands 

    Sharp teeth

    Ready to devour
