everything's (not) gonna be alright

By FindAgentX

everything's (not) gonna be alright anymore
there's something terribly wrong on the spaces (the pauses) in between my breaths
something terribly wrong with how easily i crumbled in your arms

now you don't even bother to call anymore
but it's not like i have the right to expect you to.

because sometimes i expect too much

i thought that maybe i was right to expect something more that these

dark colors

after giving all my light away

but that was 'used to be'

i need to not give so much for my nothing in return
i need to just give up, move on, let go


of this
nothing

that you owe to me.


naively i gave myself to you and wanted your love
in return

do you think that's asking too much?

    The world is a puzzle, and its laws are the means by which it solves itself... all you have to do is stand back and wait... all will be all-right. Love is not always reciprocated, but it is appreciated, regardless of how unclearly so...
