the raindrops keep falling hard
splick splak
and along with it
goes the beating of my heart
it feels overwhelming
but strangely comforting
at the same time

how can something
that gives you great joy
cause you so much pain?

it's scary how love can change people
it's scary how people can change
but
it's even scarier when you
change yourself to match
the people you love

don't you think feelings are scary?
it can make you do things that you would never do
carry you away, drown you, make you feel high
it scares me how much our life depends on how we feel at a moment in time

numb is a feeling too
it's a feeling of not being able to feel
no matter how barren and empty it is

eat your words
swallow them into fruition
and blissfully choke on them

are you happy?
