From Enemies To Always

You walked in

Felt the air get sharp

Every word we threw

Aimed straight at the heart

Trading fire

Across a crowded room

Acting like we’re fine

Both about to bruise

You said my name like it burned your tongue

I rolled my eyes

Said you’re so high-strung

But your jacket on my chair

Your coffee on my stairs

Gave you away

From enemies to always

We were fighting what we knew

Every slammed door

Every long stare

Was just pulling me to you

We were chaos

We were almost

But we never could outrun the truth

From hating you to heartbreak

To saying

“yeah

I love you too”

Late night

Arguing in the rain

You swore you were leaving

But you always stayed

Bandaged hands

You fixed my broken frame

Said it didn’t matter

Then you shook my name

You held my gaze like a secret vow

I laughed it off

Said “we’re nothing

Now”

But your number in my phone

Your hoodie in my home

Told me the rest

All those almost-kisses

All those “I don’t care”

You tracing circles

On my wrist like a dare

If hate’s the mask

Love’s the truth underneath

So take every wall

And pull out the key
