i can't help the fear i feel
this goes far beyond anything i ever anticipated
i have been trying to erase myself from every equation
instead i have been finding myself crushed under the weight
i am homesick for a place that doesn't exist
i miss you, i miss my father, i miss everyone
i miss that night on your balcony, i miss feeling fat on your couch
i miss whiskers, i miss salt
i miss eating leftovers and watching comedy central
i don't want you to read this because i don't want to burden you with my selfish emotions
above everything else, i don't ever want to hold you back
i couldn't live with myself if i knew that i weighed you down in any way
you're the radiant golden son
i am coming to terms with the fact that maybe i never was what you needed
and if this is what i need to do to keep you in my life i will do it
i will straight up do anything
everything means nothing anymore
and i can't tug at your sweater forever
