almost

last night I stayed up later than I intended
just so I could talk to you
you almost made it through an entire conversation without lying to me
almost.
but then it happened
you said those three little words that mean nothing to you
but mean everything to me
just to make me stick around longer

stop lying just to make me stay

starve

you feed me all of your love on a silver platter one night
only to starve me the next because you found a prettier girl to feed

yet for some reason, I still stick around
waiting to be fed

even if it is only one bite

because

I would rather starve for a few days than lose you

I feel so stupid for loving you

awake

the morning that you told me you chose someone else, I poured the rest of my coffee down the sink and watched it circle the drain; I didn’t want to be awake any longer than I had to

this is how it all started
