I wish I was stronger
I wish I didn’t needed you
When the lights burned a little less brighter
Sometimes I wish ,if only,
I could care less…love you a little less,
Stop holding on to you so tight
Everytime you decide to distance away.
Then I won’t have to cry myself to sleep,
Or hope you’d pick up the call atleast.
I wish I was a bit more stronger,
Your indifference won’t suffocate me any longer
I wish everytime you hurt me
I had the strength to speak up
Instead of running to this familiar pen and paper
Maybe I fell in love with the way you hurt me
More than the times you loved me.
