You said you were gonna grow up -
then you were gonna come find me.
Words from the mouths of babes.
Promises oceans deep -
but never to keep.

And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn.
As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return.
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned.
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned.
And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty-five.
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired.
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life.
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried -
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)..
When you were mine.
But the woman who sits by the window -
Has turned out the light

Realistically I could never get rid of tumblr because it gives me the illusion of a community of strange young women all around my same age, all slowly figuring out how to live too

In English, we say: " Overthinking "
But in poetry, we say: " The storms in my head ruined the garden that my soul holds"

everything I tell you is a monologue,
and it's not you who listens.

Itโs hard to remember all our years together
And I hate how it hurts
But there's no knock on my door
There's no please can we talk?
No sorry for all of the pain that I caused
We're not sat in my kitchen
with quiet forgiveness
I thought you would find your way here but you didn't
I'll write myself the apology I'll never receive

Maybe I don't need another apology, maybe I just need a little time to be able to accept the first one.

They all had plans [โฆ].
Things they were gonna do when they got around to it: Go on a cruise. Lose ten pounds. Fall in love.
They thought they had all the time in the world.
But nobody does.
