Most

I liked you more than most things

More than my friends

More than my piano.

 

I hated you more than most things

More than judgements

More than a narcissist.

 

I lusted you more than most things

More than alcohol

More than that other guy.

 

But you treated me like most things

Like a childhood crush

Like an awkward stranger

 

And now you blame me

You blame me for our downfall

You blame me

You blame me for it all

 

Like it was my fault,

none of yours.

Like I was just another fleck of sand

washed up on the shores.

 

And I liked you more than most things

But none of it ever mattered.

None it sparked a flame in my heart.
