I will not say I’m sorry for hurting or having feelings
I will not text you back, not right now, I know I’m being a child
But you make everything seem so easy, even hurting me just now
Ok, you didn’t mean to but your sweetness makes me feel more bitter somehow
This is me taking care of myself, you don’t see me drinking
Or fucking or doing anything I’d love to abuse right now
I know I’m a mess but you said you love me and I think I love me toox2
Life feels like sandpaper, my skin feels like sandpaper, I’m only learning how to be a body
And I’m sorry body, for leaving trauma in you in this cycle of insecurity
I know I’m a mess, it shouldn’t matter if you love me if I love me right?x2
Everything always comes back to me, always comes back to me
Always come back aroundx2
