You lied to me like it wouldn't flood
Everything that we had built
Those nights you held me close
Like nothing could ever bring us down.
But the water is filling my lungs,
Even as you were running from me,
I'm sorry that it had to end like this,
But I was drowning in all your games
That pulled me into you like the riptide,
And now you've tricked me once again;
I love you and you're not by my side,
Because our flooded walls cannot mend.
Another year is over, another year is done,
I’m still standing where you left me, stranded,
All alone in a world without you, my sun,
The ring’s still on my finger, but I’m left empty handed.
I’ve always wondered
What it’s like to be myself
Openly and honest
And not hiding behind bookshelves
Waiting for someone to see
And let me into their heart.
A guy is knocking
My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,
He’s in his sixties learning a new language
And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,
Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
