I Am Giving You Up For Another

it has been a nice exchange of
wholesome conversation
the past few days
when we treat ourselves as friends,

what could have made you change?

talks about money, and people, and
how life shouldn't be
desperate things and miserable events
ships that sink, minds that explode
and kids on rehabilitation,
marriages on the brink of breaking
governments that don't serve anymore

how desperate we could be?

you must have realized that this is my
hiding place
as i have no other place to hide
and breathe

we now must part, i want to live.
