Do you know what it feels like to be this romantic?
Do you know what it feels like to be just completely soaked with love but still only wring it out of your veins like a sponge to give to others to drink. This love I receive is hardly for me, it’s always only ever been for others - for those that I love. This love you’ve given me has always hardly been for me. It’s always only been for you. It’ll always come back to you. Maybe not in the ways you gave it to me, but one way or another, it gets back to you.
I don’t know how to keep it. I don’t know what to do with it if I can’t give it back.
It feels like acid rain sometimes. To touch the grooves left behind - the shapes that were seared into the heart, you can’t get rid of those easily.
But what about you?
Did the love I kept pouring back to you - did you keep any of it for yourself? Did it burn you the same way it burnt me? Did you put it to good use? Or was it all just a waste of time and energy because you couldn’t drink any of it without it tasting bitter.
So is that bitterness my fault or yours? Was it my love for you or was it your fucked up tastebuds.
Or did you pour all of my hard work, blood, sweat, and tears - rivers of them - into the ocean you live next to.
