i knew i couldn't stop them 

once they came 

i knew you'd have my breath 

and my depth 

until we forget our names 

and i finally saw it 

what's clear 

that it's all so heartbreaking

that i am indeed

pathetic 

the twists and the turns 

the bends and the burns 

i make and sway 

just to keep you in my orbit 

i think about you most moments of the day 

and i wait for you to write 

i don't think you know 

how much my heart breaks 

when you wait to answer 

i don't think you know 

that my throat knots 

and i convince myself 

that you don't like me

i don't trust you 

not to leave me 

i'm waiting for you

to unravel it all
