May 2017
We lived in parallel universes but decided to meet here
Strange how I was enough for you and too much at the same time
On the night you held me, you let me be the remedy to all your problems
I kissed away monsters and let you take control of my body
I listened to your words
But my speech was slurred and you didn't understand so you took to my skin and bones instead
I have flashbacks now wondering if I should label myself as the fool
The potions and words made a recipe for a hurricane of emotions
But I refuse to let regret be one of them
I'm not ashamed of the flaws I let show
I'm not ashamed that I told you my dreams
I'm not ashamed that I flashed you a peak of my earliest heartbreak
and that I played it cool when you told me that I'll never be the one for you
I'm not going to play the cute victim
I exposed every wound and scar to you
I carried more courage than the Lion
A weak man like you will never know
This will never be something you'll own
You were right I do have magic
and it lives in me whether you believe in it or not.
