Grow Up

coupled with question, voices turn themselves up curling the end of the word to make it last forever, to give a void that beckons an answer, that begs for something to fill it up. -------what do you want me to say? that you were always right & i was stupid? do you want me to fall into your arms? well fcuk you. you've taken my wings right off my back. left me with no escape & a situation i cannot bear to sit through, [watch me fall through the floor-] watch me as i wave goodbye, as you mumble 'poor girl', as i turn away & begin to die. theydon'texpectathing. / i don't know what's worse : that i carried on so long under your eyes or that i always secretly wanted your focus. maybe both in a way. /
