dear dane,

oh, what is there left to say

i guess now it’s down to

second guessing

sending a “happy birthday”

and as i enter this gateway

will i make it through

out of all of who

or what’s my past

i can’t believe it’s been

your face that’s

prevented me to pass

dear dane,

I feel insane

did you plan for it to go this way

this time I won’t beg you to stay..

for those debts

are yours to pay

those new shoes

are yours to fill

so why do you still

try and make the case

infiltrate my space

leave the marks

for me to trace?

like i know.

i voluntarily entered

this vindictive mind race.

but, you see…

i can’t be replaced

my voice is the only place

you once practically erased

yea, we’re grown now

so it’s a little different

i can own it now

yea, i can admit it

i see your home now

so go and get your distance

i’ve been silent for some time now

so here’s my deliverance:

three fears

three tears

three breaks..

until i hit the threshold

until my hands started to shake

between two different states

had a few indifferent mates

yea, they all just raised the stakes

made me realize..

just how much your heart aches..
