Thick Skin x Open Book Chpt 1: Dani

Feedback Received!

I worshipped the ground you walked on

So many nights on phones, we talked long

For hours

I think I loved you

I think I really did

I think I would have done anything for you, had you asked me for it

I thought you were the one

I thought we were having fun

I thought with him, you were done

I didn’t even think anything of the first couple hit and runs

Now I have the scars in the shape of your love

All up and down my heart

Feeling like I need to start

Moving on and getting over

All the bullshit

Start getting sober

I’m getting older

Always in my feeling

Chasing them

So close to feeling something again

As I write these words with my pen

As I mentally regiment of all of the reasons you can’t come back in

It kills me because you made me feel a way no one else ever has

But now your apart of the past and now there’s a different cast that I call friends

But there’s a you sized hole in my chest that I can’t make anyone else fit in

I’ve tried getting lit

I’ve tried getting hit

I’ve tried taking it

The pain, and giving it a different name and a different face but every time it becomes the same game

I try to fill the void

With noise

With silence

With 5/10 of a fuck

With violence

Now a nihilist

Man, I’m tired of this shit

I need some poise
