I cry just a little harder
With each step I take
Recompassing my ache
as the babbling brook
walks this trail with me.
Flashbacks of you throwing
shit across the room --
Too drunk to even be able
to remember tomorrow.
I wanted to stay in, order pizza --
and hold you in our living room.
You wanted to party, making me
drive you everywhere with
people who bring you sorrow.
But I was just someone who
showed you love && gave
you a free place to stay.
But you didn't listen to me
&& you used me everyday.
I grew to want things past
the old you. I need
More now...&& I know --
You'd never follow through.
&& I am done
With you.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”
