Work Text:
I’ve read this book before
Well maybe not this one
But I’ve seen this trope a thousand times
I’ve lost my hope before
A lot more than just once
And I know how it ends
Every
Single
Time
And I’ll try
To make it last till tomorrow
But eventually the fire burns out
And I’ll work
To take away these sorrows
But how can I when there’s so much doubt?
And shame?
And loneliness?
I’ll cry, through the burning rain
But my tears just make it fall again
You said
You’d stay regardless
You promised me a life we couldn’t have
But you left
I’m broken hearted
Too long gone
Now there’s no turning back
This
Book
Burdens me
This
Trope
Can’t believe
Why does it always happen to me?
They say stay
I must go
So they say I’ll never be alone
And I cry
Cause it’s not fair
I know they’re lying
I can feel it in the air
Old friends
Now strangers
Does anybody actually care
Enough
To keep on
Trying?
Or should I
Just move on?
I think I’m done trying
