The Odyssey of My Issues
Your issues incoherently
became mine
Still wondering how did I survive
From your vicious past
And your troubled present
Was it just me turning a blind eye?
Or me suffocating in my own denial,
Perhaps it could've also been my pride
However this might have all started out
I still can't believe I fell for your petty truth
And with all that has happened,
It still feels like I want to put a gun to
your head
And perhaps pull the trigger to take you
of your misery
That I so dismally failed to do
But don't you care that I have my own
issues too?
I love you more than I hate you but not
more than I like you
I never wanted to turn back to the cries
of fear afraid that I might start a fire
But the value of my teardrops keeps my face dry
Knowing that your existence is more than
my selfish desire.
