between the guilt trip

hearts broken

wounds open

tables turned

and bridges burnt


if this is a curse

i want a cure

i no longer want to hold or be held

i just want to fly away and hold sway


if i have to choose between breaking or be broken

i would just be alone inside these walls

but again my heart is a rebel

it has the needs to explore and feel

i didn't plan to hurt some souls

i didn't plan to ruin in-betweens

as much as i'm cursed to be wanted till i'm known

i'm also set to put the good parts to be blown


i have a big heart that even the space can be shared

but sharing is not always caring

too much to feel could be so tough

and one day at a time doesn't feel enough


between the machine, the bad influence, and the walking contradiction 

i'm running around, chasing the dopamine to escape

but to you it was sanctuary, a high from the thigh 

an obsession to the eyes, a misguided data of affections


with the timeline of the giant

that my veins had to repaint

the softest hearts that i shattered

traumatic tears that you all shed

how surprising that you chose to stay

wasn't I made of an alcoholic whore clay?


between fight or flight i freeze

i break between scissors and fist

the moment of war and clash

i'm still shaking from the smash

i can hear my own heart beating to my ear

anxiety plays the drum and pumps the gear


if only i could rewind

i would've sticked to dine and wine

not because i'm full of regret

for the sake of keeping the chemistry great


it had to come to another good-bye gate

another ruin caused by my selfishness

next soul that isn't a mate

guilt is no better than loneliness

  1. You paint yourself the villain in this tale of hearts colliding
    But broken people break things while they're still deciding
    Whether love's worth risking when you know you'll cause the pain
    The guilt you carry proves your heart still beats humane
