I'm sick of this disconnect
needless tension and failed attempts
I know you must be tired too
of this stupid obligation we hold on to
I tried. I promise.
but I can't remember just what the fuck for
I won't be sorry for wanting to protect what's left of my time
The only thing that makes sense to me
is to retreat to a place where I can breathe amidst the warfare of daily life
and stay away from you
