Movie in a Scene
Caitlin Sep 2013
It played out in front of us
Like the whole movie in one scene.
Even if it starts out good,
an ending was the worst of my dreams.
I lost my best friend.
Or did he lose me?
My heads still too blurred to see it all clearly.

Why ask how I feel about you if you feel nothing back?
It's like you were waiting for the perfect time,
and when I'd get vulnerable, you'd attack.

When you're the one with all the tricks up your sleeves
Playing it out, you straight lie and decieve.
But how could I get schooled when i know how you play?
Different opponents, all in the same game,
All against you.
And I know how you cheat.
I knew all your moves,
I swore I had you beat.

Then you give me that look with those eyes, making me laugh.
Is that what I meant when I wanted to get you back?
It happened so fast but I replay it slow.
Going over every detail of all I used to know.
Flashback to all the times you've led me on,
but what did you think was going to happen?
You sang me the perfect song.

It used to be vibrant and beautiful.
But we painted it gray.
Putting up walls, and closing the shades.
We were selfish, and misunderstood.
but we were best friends, no matter what you claim.

Because even when we both hit rock bottom,
we hit it hard in the worst of the weather.
And kept it balanced with the highs of being together.
That was our light. And our dark. And everything in-between.
Being together. Best friends. Him and I.
Like the whole movie in one scene.
