bruh idk

I do not have big words 
to express myself
but there is a reality to romance
there is so much distortion in a young perception of it
i'm not just talking about the expectations from a partner 
but the fact that everyone experiences it differently 

there is a fear that sets in
when we find out that it is not all what we thought out that it would be
in friendships
in romances
in family

I have a place where i come home to rest 
but my house is becoming scarce
as i grow bigger 
my emotions aren't mine only
they are shared by those around me 
like magnets, repulsion and attractions happen.

there was once a happy realisation 
my life needs more than a couple of sittings to be told
but now it seems like such a misery 
a five course meal of stories 
when all i want is a fast food solution to my problems

no longer want to understand or be understood
no longer want to care or be cared for 
all because people will only understand what they want to 
and because caring is understood as wanting pity

so we become lonely 

a 3 a.m. draft post drinks and loneliness

We forget how mush distance there is between us
but i remember it like a headache
it's all i think about when my mind drifts apart

i'm stuck in a room with two clocks
each second ticks after the other
like the beating of a heart
it makes me tick

and a lock and key cannot help 
to stop their murmurings
and so the night marches
with the cold sifting into the world
