by Ava Blui dont want to i dont want to i dont
want to i dont want to i
dont
want
to
i dont want to feel it anymore
and i am too old to bring myself into the sun
and pretend to not be burned by every lie you tell
i dont want to fall for someone else
i dont want to fall for the gimmicks
i dont want to carry burdens that i had when i was ten
but i do
i dont want to
i
dont want
to want
you
anymore 06/30/2022 Posted on 06/30/2022
