thats not perfection, thats desperation

and it sucks
but the fact of the matter is
we think the way we hurt ourselves is so different
but its all the same.

our hearts heal like our wrists
taking too god damn long
and show exactly what went wrong
in our fucked up songs

then we follow
our family tree
addiction to loving things and people
who fuck us over runs in the genes

and it annoys me
my attachment to people who it hurts to be
the desire to feel something
clouding my judgement

i fall in love too easily
so i have to hold myself back
from feeling something totally normal
to keep myself from getting hurt
