Oh please, spare me your lies,
we both know you won't stay
more than a few days,
or weeks, if we're lucky.
because I've seen too much
to be that naive and I've done
too much to know
I don't deserve it anyways.

Hearts falling like kites on a windless day
You bring me up so I'm flying high
and let me plummet until I hit a solid ground,
wishing we could be together
without the crash and burn.
iii.
honestly I don't what remember what I
saw in you. maybe its the butterflies you
gave, the way I felt my body crush against
yours when we hugged, when we kissed, the
fireworks that sparked between the parts of
our lips. something about the way your eyes burned
into mine with a single gaze.
but like I said, I don't know what i saw in you
iv.
I tried to explain what it mean to fall, but all
I could do is look at the sunset colored bruises
left from my many attempts.
v.
so tell me now
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
Because I don't know.

calculative heartbreak. didn't know if anyone was actually going to use this, but I think you did quite well. Kudos for being creative; that's for sure. i like how there's parts of it and it's almost written like a journal/diary. Good use of the title. thanks a lot!

Awww if it's still a WIP its going very well
Love the two verses, but especially the end;
"So tell me now
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
Because I don't know."
Keep up the good work
