Stay The Same | A Poem

I could go on

List reasons

Find needles that prick

Pick thorns in my side

I don’t think you will change

Something tells me you’ll stay the same

And I’ve long since stopped listening

To what everyone likes to say

It doesn’t matter

Nothing will erase the past

That’s fine by me

Okay somehow

When you spot your weaknesses

Confront lies you’ve kept inside

I hope you aren’t entirely alone

I won’t be there, can’t wait forever

But I don’t forget

Neither will you

You’re in control

Don’t need to swap roles
