Dear John Letter
i sit impatiently at your door
you peek out now and then
as if to tease me
we both know you'll never let me in
i could scream at the top of my lungs
i could attempt to stand and walk away
but i sit here frozen
knowing i'll love you yet another day
i've tried letting go
before i even tried to hold on
i'm falling apart so quickly
yet you stand as stone
i can take the pain, i promise
don't say what you think i want to hear
your silence is deafening
your answer already crystal clear
no more smiles through the curtains
mock no longer the way i feel
tell me to fuck off
so i can begin to heal
you peek out now and then
as if to tease me
we both know you'll never let me in
i could scream at the top of my lungs
i could attempt to stand and walk away
but i sit here frozen
knowing i'll love you yet another day
i've tried letting go
before i even tried to hold on
i'm falling apart so quickly
yet you stand as stone
i can take the pain, i promise
don't say what you think i want to hear
your silence is deafening
your answer already crystal clear
no more smiles through the curtains
mock no longer the way i feel
tell me to fuck off
so i can begin to heal
