am i muse or am i man
more held together than heart
I seek tragic happily-ever-afters
but i run directly at disasters
time after time and over again
i reject the stove yet burns
and my hands as currency gambled
to not make a choice is one
am i muse or am i man
whose week is it to keep me
from refusing the same lessons
for matters of my heart strums
somebody save me from myself
please save me from my love
because i love things that hurt
i often deny the things i know
make my confusion rational
know how this game plays out
emotional avoidance or survival
tune in tomorrow for a new episode
the same thrilling time and place
and a plot just as predictable.
i can’t sink or swim for him, but it..
won't stop me from the hope of...
not again, kept a safe distance.
love encourages dumb things
wildly, overtly, optimistically.
patterns of a man branded into scars
broken so many times before this
more held together than heart
