Sentience

You felt the difference

between our love languages

I proved unfluent-

can expect you to stay,

chained by my inept fear of change

I want to reach those heights

i was unable to provide

as I applaud from the bottom

with our past by my side

Don’t mend the fray

To medicate the ache-

I’ll do whatever it takes

Dangling from the mouth of sentience

I realized I love like a plastic tie

and if you can't breathe

I don't need you to lie

I want you,

but i need you to stay alive

the hardest part has been trying to accept

i am not what's best for you

when I feel like

it’s all i can do

Dangling from the mouth of sentience

I realized I love like a plastic tie

and if you can't breathe

I don't need you to lie

I want you,

but i need you to stay alive

the hardest part has been trying to accept

i am not what's best for you

And I’d be selfish to expect you

To falter your frequency

every other day.

Fuck it,

If you leave, or if you stay

The sun will still rise and set

I know I can live without you-

I just don’t know how to yet.

I need you to stay alive.
