Against Words

Your voice is soft and nice
Calms me down whenever you speak
Your words bring back memories
Do you perhaps need a small push?

My urge to please everyone grows
My own thoughts make me feel gross
You don't know a thing about what I say
But you listen and act like it was never said

Ignore my own previous thoughts
Cravings are there forever
I refuse to speak about my own thoughts
And then I remember who made this happen.

I wish I never had to go through it
It'll ruin everything between me and you
Whatever we ever had, you and me
Over it and now under it

The amount of things I have said
Maybe you're aware of my problems
The amount of memories I have held
Yet you're unaware of my moments

Holding back and shutting up
I want a relief from it all
I don't need what I want
But I want what you wish

You're not the first one to go through it
You're not even the second one
I'll get away from all of it
And I'll turn a blind eye to your love.

I need to take care of myself
You're not enabling me now
But I am always enabling myself
The jokes are turning real now

I don't want you to ever know my thoughts
I'm against talking about what I feel
Against telling people what I am always
I'll act like I don't feel it at all.
