On Relationships.

[Raz]

A second skin bound us, but it was too tight;
I always felt safe in the darkest dark night;
But lately I've been thinking while I've been drinking,
Yeah my heart soared but in the end it was sinking;
Lower than low has ever been defined,
My heart was yours more than it ever was mine;
And I know that was wrong,
It was wrong all along,
But it felt so good and it felt so right,
And in the end it helped me win the fight
Between me and myself,
Put my angst on the shelf;
Swept away all the pain,
Again and again,
But it never went away, it returned and it stayed;
In the end now I know what only I learned,
You embrace that fire, you're gonna get burned;
You give up all that hurt but you give up what you've earned,
You give up insecurity but you give up your turn;
You give up everything you know you can be,
You'd rather be blind than be able to see the potential inside;
What could be if you tried,
Even after love's died and left you on the outside;
Stranded, alone, empty and moaning,
Love keeps on and it keeps on roaming;
You're not the only one's had his heart broke,
You're not the only one who's turned to coke and ecstacy, speed, anything that will do;
Any fucking substitute in lieu of feeling that ripping tearing sensation,
That pain like the pain that is borne by a nation;
Well take from me now this humbling clue,
Pain is borne by us all, not only by YOU.

i like how this exists as a conversation, a letter, a poem, and advice all at the same time.

i have no idea if this was written for someone specific raz, but i like it.
