No telltale heart was left to find

11/08/24

I’m tired of being down, I got no fight

I was stargazing with my sister and watching the meteorites 

I know now that this will be the time I look back on fondly 

We saw a shooting star 

I should have wished for something else 

But I do want that 

Longer goodbyes 

I hope it happens 

Of course with someone else 

And not quite like that 

But still 

If I cry when we say goodbye, will you promise not to think that I’m weak 

I really need to pretend right now 

I need thicker skin 

I thought it was thick enough already 

I’ve grown soft in my old age 

Suits of armour, hearts and arrows 

I haven’t seen them in months 

I haven’t seen him in months 

I would have seen them sooner if he wasn’t the way he was

I should give in 

I’m losing out because I’m so stubborn 

But I’m just a kid 

I’m not just a kid 

I know better 

Nothing is changing my mind 

You could change my mind 

Yours, 

Miss misery
