parents are supposed to be forever
parents are supposed to be soulmates
so explain why the two of you never
seemed to work it out
you were perfect
you were everything two parents were supposed to be
you used to kiss each other every single day
you used to hug
you used to smile at the thought of seeing the other
at the end of a long day of work
you used to joke around
with each other
about the silliest of things
like maybe dad ate the last muffin
or mom forgot to set the alarm in the morning
I loved that
I loved being able to watch the love
happening between my parents
every single day
what happened
what happened to the ones I thought I knew
so well
you were supposed to be forever
you were supposed to be soulmates
you were supposed to live
happily ever after
you were supposed to be the proof that love really does exist
for your little girl
you were supposed to be forever
mom and dad
I rooted for you

Burning Down by Alex Warren
I understand this song is technically about the "Hype House" (that TikTok Viral sensation that occurred back in 2019 with all those huge TikTok creators). I understand that. I do. But, goddammit. How the hell did Alex Warren get ahold of my own private diary pages because how does he manage to know EXACTLY how I feel with every single song he releases?
