Too old to be young,
Too youthful to be old.
Faithful to the comfort, and I let the dreams drown in it.
I hope you're happier, but it's just the opposite.
I fought every battle, and all was conquered.
I am the man who wages war against himself and never wins.
I am the one who looks stunning with a stupid smile.
Wailing over the thought of what could have been.
I am the one who's alive on the outside but rotten inside.
But you'll never know because I wear smiles better than perfumes.
You'll never know because I'm not sorry.
If you feel sorry you shouldn't worry,
I'm in such a hurry to heat up and fume.
Yet today, I'll be by your side smiling and coming closer.
Who knows if tomorrow will come?

damn. that "wear smiles better than perfumes" line hit me right in the chest. i feel like i've been both the person writing this and the person someone else is writing this about, you know? hope you're okay, stranger. or at least, hope you get a real moment to breathe soon. 8 days ago
