I’m not sure this is heartbreak. I don’t know what this is. I don’t think about him. I’m not the person that thinks about him. I’m not the person that reminds me of the kind of person that likes him and wants his approval. I’m not the same person that moved to his city or…

Intimacy

Escape tunnels
All I’ve ever wanted was for someone to explain to me why and what What in the world was happening to me, why I had these feelings. Why my dad stopped being a dad and became a burden, like a mental patient, with his childhood abuse and depression Why the adults abandoned supporting me when…

Sosteniendo las llaves de la jaula
Cuando tienes miedo, eres pequeño y joven y pierdes las cosas que no sabías que podías perder Cuando te olvidan y te culpan y te dicen que estás equivocado Sueñas con una vida mejor Que algún día serás rey Que ganarás cada corazón y tu nombre será pronunciado de una manera especial desde un lugar…
