Snapping at each other given a chance
It's like doing a goddamn dance
Tiptoeing so we don't piss off each other
Is this what we meant when we said forever?

We're yelling. We're screaming. We're crying.
God, this is all so pathetic
But our lives have just become too hectic
And now anger, jealousy, pain, indifference have come into play
Why, does our life together have to be this way?

I wished when we were younger that things would change
But now, I think younger me was deranged.
Our life's become a bloody file,
Keep track of the arguments and who won every fight
I keep holding back frustrated tears
I just hope this doesn't become one of my worst fears.

We can't get over our ego and pride
So I'm sorry, but well
we'll never be on each other's side
We're trying to hurt each other best we can:
"Maybe we could have this discussion if you acted like a man!"
"What the fuck did you just say?!!!"

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay?
But why don't we ever get the words to say what's on our mind.

No, we'll just resort to throwing things like a child.

This poem is really close to my heart and I actually wrote this ages ago when I was going through some family shit. I know its not the most relatable but I hope somewhere in the world, someone reads this as a reflection of what they're going through and I hope they realize they are not alone.
