it’s a little pathetic i’m guessing.
throughout all the years, we’ve
spun the bottle for it to only
land on the things we don’t want
to be a part of.
always
[a-pa-rt] we failed to see that
you and me, we really don’t
see how the guns fire
off. and when you tried to
lean in.
for that kiss, i never
died. i only sighed into the fog
that covered up our open eyes.

scared to come across love, we lied
to each other in the heat
of the presence.
falling was out of style, failing
is what we aimed for. and every time
we hit the bullet's eye,
aim on target and heart behind
locked cages of dirty
looking prisons, we laughed.
the smiles were key but the
cardboard backing just became
unnoticed.

explaining was overrated. we showed
each other sides of us that
normally would have us closing our
eyes. the disaster was human of us
but sometimes it makes me
wonder what could have
happened if we laid in bed by ourselves
and counted the hours we could go
without talking. without thinking
with our hearts
instead of our thoughts.

it could have been different, we could
have confessed up to what
was really going on when we both
said things were
okay. the smile you showed
was fake, i probably should
have known it was a
mistake.
