Why stay?

When nothing is changing
This is not for me
Just a hope of something more
I need more than a maybe
Lukewarm doesn't heat me
It's not that I'm impatient
It's that I feel too much
And you do not feel enough
It's hard to forget
It's hard to move forward
When it hasn't happened yet
I need to be shown something
That I've never known before
I need to feel encountered
Someone to believe in me
Someone to take a chance
I want to be chosen
Despite all circumstance

My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.

Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...
