"Don't be so eager to be offended. The narcissism of small differences leads to the most boring conformity." ~ Tár


it’s 1:34 in the morning and I’m yet to fall asleep

My feet are submerged in the water and here I’m almost knee-deep

I can’t breathe

And I’m drowning

In a river of regrets

My head is in the shadow

And I’m falling like the rest


He was supposed to meet me here

He was not supposed to leave

I thought I’d go to the river

But I didn’t know it’d be just me


It’s 9:22 in the evening and I’m yet to be awake

My hands are cold from the surface and the rain has hit the lake

I can’t swim

And I won’t

In a river of regrets

My eyes are in the shadow

And he’s falling away from this


I was supposed to meet him there

I was not supposed to leave

We thought we’d go to the river

But we didn’t know it’d be just me

 

I thought I'd go to the river

But I didn't know it'd be just me

 

I thought I'd go to the river

But I never knew it'd be just me
