Petty Bits of Nothing

Leave these petty bits of nothing behind you
Just like you dropped my heart in the mud made by the morning dew
No words could ever speak how much I care about you
It almost killed me when you disappeared for that month or two

I want to go back to the good old days

We we're just some stupid risk takers
Pretending to be life savers
Freeloading In rusty boxcars
We were so far from reality we feel like we were on Mars

Leaning out the train car door
Wind in our hair, and euphoria galore
Teenage runaways confusing lust and love
On our tiptoes to reach the stars above

But as we age plans like to change
What we want will never stay the same
A couple differences start making us insane
Every thing we want is a wedge driving us apart
Every step we take is another nail in the coffin of our love

You'll be back in your old hometown
I'll be sitting here, lost and waiting to be found
Perhaps it doesn't matter anyway
Because, I think you're happier this way
I'm now one less burden you have to take

I don't want you as an empath to my pain
I can't stand to see you hurt like that ever again

I know I'd said I'd make a special poem dedicated to my readers to celebrate hitting 1k reads. Hopefully that will be the next poem, I felt the inspiration for these words tonight.
