Just give up

I don't remember when it all became so easy to give up on.  No more chasing dreams down broken streets, looking for arrows in the road that paved the way for those before you.  No more love in the middle of the night, when it's too dark to see anything more than the outline of your face against the pillow.  You don't want to share these smiles anymore, it's fine but it'll never be okay.  The words on your lips don't make sense to me, spoken over mediums of cowardice and distrust, crush me again.  I'll never be the girl I once was, dragging you home in those early summer months, traveling as far as these little wheels would take me just to see your face.  I was naive, but you seemed so lovely to me.  What was real, what did I misconceive?  A well intentioned woman never gets let down easy, staring down the tip of a wing of an aircraft that takes me further and further from you.  It's become so easy, for everyone but me.  Just give up.
