i wonder how she would feel if she knew
about the things you did with me
while you were speaking to us both
i do not have such peace
i lack the bliss
of not knowing how unvalued i was
i would tell the whole world
but i know how it does
cant escape my worthlessness
and even though i never liked her much
i'd never put this feeling on her
let her think she is in love
how lucky you are to never know the pain
of being dispensable
you'll walk away unscathed
and remain your own individual
however i am left wayless
not a single direction safe
how do i know if i disarm myself
i won't be properly slain
the trust i once had in myself
slaughtered by the sharp edge of your love
in a world where perfection is a touch away
i accept i just won't be enough
declined
i insist on your leave
too kind
you've come to think of me

as a fool
a puppet
some toy for amusement
i was docile
at one point
but i am not stupid

you've mistaken me for something i'm not
and you're yet to realize
what a shock that shall be
all in due time
pouring myself out
but can't pour it back in
driven to the ground
and tender of the skin
i try to muster courage
and i bare myself of pride
i too have shortcomings
and that is just alright
imperfection violates me
it invades the quietest parts of myself
and becomes the dictator of my self worth
consciously i know better
but the child still inside of me does not
and we are in this together
so i'm not enough
for anyone i love
and i don't know how to live with it
i don't know what to do with all these left over feelings
you've really made a mess out of me
want to move on but i can't
this dynamic keeps ******* with me

cause we're cool then we're hot
there's rules then there's not
quick to put a stop
when what you want is what you got
when i give it up and lay it down
but still confused when i spell it out
just ******* wow
***** to be me right now
waited for a couple hours
spent a couple days
staring at a silent phone
for things you'll never say

a tipped firework
beautiful before you know
it's shooting through your heart
and just way too ******* close

because who wants to be hurt
not me and i guess you're the same
but you can detach in way i can't
you'll always be okay

cause you don't care
so you can't get hurt
i cry on our behalf
you laugh at these words

i'm trying to make sense
i'm trying to clean up the glass
maybe i'm thinking too much
but i can't bring myself to ask

questions i won't like the answers to
not ready to exist without you
