I want to want to love you again

the baby steps of moving forward often times feel like moving backward

By Katarina TylerPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Heart bloodshot and stuck back in November

every beat pushes me still back to you

I know you still wear that woolen sweater

the one I wrapped and gave special to you

cashmere memories, dreaming in voicemail

your living room carpet stuck in my teeth

the ravens don’t care about the detail

I’m counting the days it’s still the eighteenth

You’ve painted my cabernet heartbreak blue

I lay beside thoughts of making amends

I’m getting so sick of surviving you

I want to want to love you again
