Rubber Bands

I can bend, twist, intern for your love

Somehow I did not break into pieces

I can stretch and grow to love your imperfections

But I can never hold you tight like I want to

Stretching myself then to make this relationship in my head feel complete

Even though my heart was tearing at the seams

I’ll do anything to get your attention

It’s the sad truth even though I know it won’t keep you next to me

Fighting every muscle in my body and my heart to stretch for you another inch

While you watch from a distance

My silent agony continues

I can bend, twist, and turn for your love

And I would’ve never thought in 1 million years I would break

Suddenly all the vessels in my heart burst into 1 million pieces

While you turned a blind eye and began something new

Leaving me and my hopeless romantic heart to bleed out to death

I guess I’m not good at stretching after all.
