We hold on

to a dysfunctional love

for the kids' sake

but they'll soon notice.

How much

you don't

love me at all.

Then, I will

have you

explain

the ending

to them.

you say

stay silent

you love me more

that way

but be careful

what you wish

for my love.

my voice

was the only thing

saving us.

so watch

what happens

as i follow your advice.

you say

we have

nothing but time

but look at them grow

how big and strong they’ve gotten.

and

i always in shock

and wonder like

where did the time go?

i know

we sleep in

different spaces

but i still think of

summers us as teenagers

the memories that surprisingly

haven’t left

all these years

i still think of us

at night wondering

what happen to us

i use to love me better

when i was with you

but now

i hate myself even more

with you
