Seems Pretty

It was a world of magic that we couldn’t help but be enchanted by.

We do the what we do because of this.

Sometimes it made our lips turn colors due to the suffocating effect things seemed to have on us.

But we were strong, we were the type to never let go.

It wasn’t easy to learn.

But we forced ourselves to.

Never knowing the difference between and argument and a fight,

We put up our reasons.

And let them dry out like sins on a peg board.

Not because we had to but because we could.

We weren’t ashamed,

We didn’t hide our faults,

We did as we were told and bit our tongues when necessary.

How faithful we were to those we trusted.

Could you blame us for trying?

She wanted it as bad as the next and I wanted to give it to her but it wasn’t enough,

Because deep down no matter what we asked for

It would never be enough.

You caused the accident and it never occurred to either of us that it had something to do with what you’d said.

Almost like a train wreck.

So much carnage but you just can’t look away.

I wanted to be your savior.

The position was already filled.

I tried again and you let me down not so easy the second time.

I cried and you carried me to a place where I could heal.

It was your duty to keep us out of trouble,

And our job to forever find it.

We were supposed to be that headache you could never let go of
because if you did we’d
fall
far
beyond
repair.
