Nothing to Fix

Why did you hurt yourself today?

Is pain the only thing that can make you feel?

It is true, that pain is the root of almost all great things

but it is not the only thing that is real

don’t be a murderer

don’t kill everything with it

forget the stings

new memories can patch up holes

we are always who we are

stay and go, my bittersweet friend

always a choice but not always unforced

yes, all will wither in the end

we all have thorns

some can hide better

we all lie for our reasons

you are not the only one broken

thoughts are thoughts, they don’t need repair

I don’t need anything from you,

not an empire. But I’ll take you with all your dirt

it is okay, I’m not expecting you to stay

it is okay, I can’t ask for comfort from someone in pain

Do we need to start again?

A million lifetimes away

Can we keep each other?

We could then find a way.

Maybe then.
