2. running

love got me blind,

suddenly,

i can’t even drive

in a straight line

because you’re back

on my mind,

you’re all i think of,

despite the fact

that i’ve got

all these distractions,

even when i’m not

throwing lines,

i’m somehow

catching catfishes,

tired of this spam

in my mentions,

i just want you,

tell me

that it’ll be alright,

i want to know

you see me,

because lately,

i don’t believe in me.

i’m trying to meet

your expectations,

but i feel like

i can’t reach ‘em,

i’m trying to be

the best version of me,

but i’m struggling,

stuck wondering

if i’ve done enough,

love you most

but you’re the one

i’m running from,

held it all in

for so long,

but it’s started to burst,

the feelings so extreme,

got me passing

the speed limit,

returned to the neighborhood,

but what will i find?

finally back,

but what did it cost?

walk in

and i’m all alone,

house doesn’t feel

like a home,

nothing makes sense

to me anymore,

but i guess it beats

being in the quiet streets,

wish i could see you

but i doubt you’d want me,

not after the way

i took my leave,

just know i missed you

more than you’ll ever know,

i believe in you

more than myself,

and i hope you’ll listen

to the stories

i still have left to tell.

hope you’re doing well.
