It's funny how you keep crawling back to me
It's such a pretty and beautiful sight to see
You do know that your obsession feeds our connection?
So at this moment, give me all your attention

Why do you always look like a lost dog?
You look like you can't go nowhere without me
Even as much I throw the log
You seem bewildered without me

You always praise me
Every single bit of me
To the way your gaze lingers on my flesh
To the way my words seem to live rent free in your mind
You always usher me to tell you what my full but empty words mean
Yet, I don't pay you any mind
After all, I did tell you to be in that dog cage, didn't I?

It might be a little narcissistic
Not at all pessimistic
Your words fuel my superiority
And suddenly I'm your number one priority?
💋
Much better!

Worship me and make me your goddess
Be sure to not say anything nasty, or you'll get cursed!
'kay?

you noticed that his room was becoming messy.
"lazy."
you noticed that he had stopped showering.
"disgusting."
you noticed that he had started talking less.
"he's just going through a phase."

but you never noticed how his short sleeves turned into baggy hoodies.
you never noticed that he had stopped eating.
you never noticed that the happy little boy you used to have was leaving.

you never noticed it was getting bad
until it was almost too late

The riptide fell
It probably felt unwell
One toppled on another
Few weeks later
And somehow a tsunami awakened
The riptide is back
Tired
And running away
Hoping to not get consumed and torn up
By the tsunami again
