Wrote a while ago, to question the motives behind people's thoughts.
I’m writing on plain paper. I’m scared the words will fall.
But even if they don’t come back I’ll love them after all.
I created what was there, I’ll love them anyway
Even when they hate me and I won’t know what to say.

We may as well play scrabble with words across our floor
But then I’ll win and then you’re mad, and I’ll dislike you more.
I feel I need not worry - I’m restrained against attack.
But if I can’t possess them … would they still come back?

The cracks across the ceiling? I think it’s funny stuff.
Right now I see them smiling If only that’s enough.
I’m writing on plain paper and it makes me more unstable.
I can’t accept I won’t come back and love is just a label.
