things that aren't fair:

you.
you're dark.
and you expect me
to give you my all
when you can't even let
go

-

i hurt you
by bringing up
your weakness:
her

-

i can't help it
because you're digging 
into me
what do you want?
for me to fight?
for me to fight for
someone like you?
for me to fight for someone
who already lost his strongest
love?

that, isn't fair.

-

it isn't fair how
you know the right things to say
to get under my skin and expose
everything i pretend to ignore

it's not fair how
when i'm laying beside you
i feel safe
protected
like nothing can get me
not even myself

-

i act naive
because i don't want to
deal with the fact that
you are tied to her like
a sailor's knot
and you won't ever care
if i'm your anchor

-

it's not fair because i've
wanted you so bad
for so long
and now i have you
i'm not sure if i'm
strong enough to hold on

i can't talk to you
because my walls are ten feet
but you wouldn't speak
because yours are eleven

and we're just at a stand still
waiting
for someone to budge
but you always make me move
and i always fall

-

she's fair
only in the literal sense
but cinderella at least has 
a chance to run to you
and you will find her
because you adore glass
slippers and sob stories
but rapunzel won't leave her 
tower for no one

-

i can't take another fall
i need you to come meet me
half way

-

i need the one who will
grab me when i throw
'i'm fine' at them and try
to 
walk away
the one who will  
know by looking at me
what's going on inside

just the one
who will look at me
and not wish to
see someone else
