Too Far Apart
Olivia Jahnke
We are too far apart
A gaping wound
No suture in the world
Can bind us back again
You say that I'm the best of them
But maybe I'm the worst 'cause I still listen
To mistakes you make on purpose
Bound and determined to ruin us
Why am I holding on?
Curled fingertips
With effort they bend
A desperate attempt
To stave off a bitter end
I gave you a warm home
A place for troubled hearts to come
Crumpled under the weight of you
What the hell else can I do?
Why am I holding on?
The chasm is great
Something must break
I can't keep holding on
To you
