Untitled, but it's about young love going sour

Poem

I'll smoke you out

Of my lungs

Forget about

When we were young

Used to see you everywhere

Then all at once, you were nowhere

It got easier to hide

It got easier to lie

To my brain

You never noticed, never cared

Once you decided not to be there

End this refrain

​

It's OK

People tend to

Complicate

Your point of view

When I saw you

I saw a ghost

The younger me

Became the host

I ran away

I always do

Because I

Don't know you

​

Let's be honest

It was always you

I ran and hid

Because you did too

You'd never face me

You'll never see

All the things

You do to me

You made the game

I learned the rules

You didn't see me

So I couldn't see you

​

It's OK

People tend to

Complicate

How you see you

But then I tried

To try again

Salvage us

Make us friends

You ran away

You always do

I guess neither of us

Ever really knew you

​

Like a moth to the flame

You knew I always came

And always will

Now the flame is a torch

Burn the time you were on my porch

A memory to kill

​

It's OK

People tend to

Complicate

Everything you do

But silence never

Seemed so loud

Before those nights

You weren't around

We run away

We always do

I see it now

You don't have a clue

​

I'll smoke you out

Of my lungs

But I'll never forget

When we were young
