I lay awake most nights
Wondering what happened to you.

How on earth did someone
So good
So kind
So funny
So sweet

Turn into such a pathetic,
Malleable *******?

I lay awake most nights
Wondering what happened to me.

How on earth I allowed someone to
Steal from me
Lie to me
Manipulate me
Guilt trip me

And make me question
If I’m somehow the villain.

I don’t have the will to sleep tonight.
I don’t know how to shake these ghosts.
Ex lovers
Ex friends
Ex versions of you
Ex versions of me

Ex people we promised
We would become for each other.

Who’s voice is it that

Fuels

Perceptions?

Jordan can drink poison
She gulps it down real quick.
She gives a smile
As people wait
To see if she’ll be sick.
Some people swallow swords
Some others can eat fire,
But no better act
Have I seen yet
Than Jordan swallowing ire
