Reunion

I lack the dignity you require from me.

I lack the thoughtfulness of self-doubt.

I wouldn't stay a moment here if I had to -

But I have to and that’s my fault.

I write the words that you want to hear –

at least I hope you kind of do.

But if you don't, I hope you will forget them

as soon as they leave my mouth.

I hope that all is forgiven here.

My guilty conscience expires

and there's nothing I would do for you,

I have my own worthless desires.

I only pray for the worst for you.

I pray that you will fall flat on your face.

I hope I leave and never make it back here again,

I hope I can completely forget this place.

I know that everything will be going well

once you are in my rearview mirror

I will be able to breathe again and all anxiety will rot.
