The Heavy Crown

After all this time I still wonder what you think about before you lay your head down at night.

Every time my mind wanders, my chest starts to burn

I can't hide it anymore, I bury it deep but it stills pokes out from the grave we made

My eyes are filled with tears

I haven't felt this way in years

I'm so scared to say what's going through my head because I'm scared of the thoughts too.

Why did things go south? I didn't know feelings could migrate so quickly, it feels like yours left early for the winter and I'm still living in spring

It's beautiful here, but I can feel your absence and it's a hole that can't be filled by drinking or fever dreaming

All I can do is keep on thinking -

Of all the time we spent staring at each other

Like looking away would break the progress we've made and you'd run like you always do

Maybe I should follow in suite, but it feels like I don't have a clue about you

After all this time I still wonder what you think about before you lay your head down at night

What do you think about when you see me? Can you feel how deeply I miss you, or how scared I am of losing you completely?

I want the happiness I felt with you in my arms. I miss the warmth from your smile, I miss going the extra mile.

You're worth every step.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
