Atypical behavior

Expecting a savior

Easily disappointed

Quickly disjointed

Rapid replies

Simple demise

Shallow breathing

Forever grieving

Intensely ashamed

Incorrectly blamed

Sorrowful glances

Empty romances

Jagged edges

Broken ledges

Foreign tongues

Empty lungs

Freezing

So fake, so cold

How bleak, how bold

Foreign languages we spoke

All the promises you broke

Every lie recited

And each cell ignited

Your lingering gaze

The always burning blaze

My never ending trek

To avoid an inevitable wreck

So oblivious; eyes closed

How hilarious; so composed

Indescribable

On the outside

There's a smile

Nothing to hide

At least for a while

It's easy to act nonchalant

Sure you're just fine

What is it we truly want

Alone, waiting for things to align

Because now the truth is clear

We're all searching for something real

Someone to protect us from what we fear

A place we don't have to pretend not to feel

Casually we breathe

Searching far and wide

Inside we secretly seethe

Wishing we had never lied

While it's me you haunt

I'm listening to the perfect cadence

More than simply what I want

Perfectly imperfect and shameless
