How

how can simplicity, be 
complicated

how can strain, be loosened

how can hurt, be made to feel 
good

how can you cry, and turn into 
a monster

how can you say ''i love you'', 
and dump me

how can you live, when your 
dying inside

how can you expect me 
to know you, without 
communicating things to me

how can i open up to you, when 
i think you'll be disgusted and 
run

how can intimacy be achieved, 
when your true self is locked 
away inside you

how can you want me and say 
you don't want a relationship 
with me

how can we be soulmates, 
without a solid frienship

how can you know these 
things, when i can't figure 
myself out either

how can you just give up on us, 
when you never gave us an 
honest chance

how is all i wanted, to know
