love letter, or suicide note

I loved you always and you saw the world through me, never with me

I wanted to tell you how I felt but my lips were stitched shut and you hid the scissors

if we never meet again I’ll be on the bench thinking of the whys, hows and whos

I don’t have a great knowledge of astronomy or to be honest, life. so everything I’m saying is merely my interpretation, looming over my thoughts. if I do something that is so un-me, will I be testing the way the world works? this can’t be it. what if the timeline was screwed with and we all wake up and relive the same day but we don’t even know it because life is so routinised and mundane. I want to be able to notice, I need to be able to tell its different. or the same. there must be more
