I thought I knew you
I thought we were on the same page
About life and love and all of the above
But it turns out, we weren’t even in the same library
And you didn’t have the heart to tell me

You have no courage
Your mind swims in the deep end
While your mouth dips a toe in the shallow

You lack integrity
You took what I told you and let it simmer
In a *** of old stock that was never intended for consumption

Your led me on
Like the SAT when you left the difficult questions for the end
Except this time you knew the answers but you couldn’t bare to tell me

Should I be flattered?
That you were trying to protect me from your feelings?
I’m insulted that you didn’t think I could handle the truth

And now, 5 years later
I’ve learned how to fear love
And how important it is to question intentions
But that’s not what I was looking for
So thank you
For wasting my time
