chipped nail polish

Everything you say evokes a tear
An ephemural epiphany of why you're not here
It wasn't something that I did wrong
It was manifested in the fact that we didn't belong
You spoke so many words that summoned thoughts in my mind
And recollecting memories that compel me to rewind
I try to disdain the accelerating beat of my heart
Because I know that our lives can't align and we'll depart
An incipient affinity that I could not understand
We obtained a bond that didn't go as planned
I had a vision, an ideal depiction
but it seems that what we had was just a contradiction
I'll consider this unrequited love, a stepping stone
and as I move on, I'll learn to leave you alone

On the outside looking in

Life is too short.

It really is.

I don't understand the people who feel the need to lie, and get someone to fall for someone that they aren't.

I don't understand the people who do everything out of "compassion" when in the long run, it was solely to benefit themselves.

I don't understand the people who give selfish advice, hoping for the outcome to brighten their own future.

I don't. I just don't.
