Elucidating Questions

It rises up to swallow me again

The feeling of being completely insignificant

Invisible in his eyes

It feels like I’m being mocked by every word

Like it’s all just another way to tell me how badly I failed

I know I fell farther and harder than you ever did

But you’ll be the one to ride it higher than I’ll ever get

The waves will swallow me whole and you will continue to have all the love you ever knew

And I’ll still be here spilling anecdotes into the machine

Hoping one day you learn to love half as much as I love you.

It’s not a contest

No contest.
