interlude

Usefulness is only deemed by someone who needs it You made me feel useful For once in my life, I meant something to someone Whether that was using me or not, I don’t care You seem happy with him; I wish I were him Right person wrong time, didn’t know love was our antonym Tell me what you despise, or don't, it might lead me to my demise How could you hate me, do nothing but berate me Falling doesn't seem so bad when you have someone falling with you too Finding solitude in similarity, a common ground of misfortune There are no other words I can think to say I love you I miss you I hate what you did to me I don't understand why you did I’ll never get an answer for any of those questions The next best thing I can do is assume your intentions I’d make up a fourth law of motion To give you the whole ocean Because blue is your favourite colour I’d grab you a handful of the constellation Even if you saw it as a measly donation You deserve the world, as I’ve said before That world doesn't need to include me, an afterthought will do
