ouroboros

i'm like a python, choking

on its own tail while you

run your hands through my hair,

saying it'll be okay; i'm left alone

pretending i think this is true,

like lying is the new i love you;

i don't want to let go,

i don't want to lose this;

endings always kill me;

and i can't let go of this dream

of you loving me;

i can't lose this heartbreak;

but maybe if this ends,

i'll be able to breathe again.
