Backup Plan

by empstrike

"What is this? Something new. So I have no need of you But my plan will follow through And for that, once more, I'll use you But I'll get a taste again, I never thought I'd be able Plan A fell through For Plan B, I will settle. Until  I get what I really want I don't think I can wait So I cast you aside Only after I've made this mistake... Keep you on the side until your usefulness ends. One more bill until I let it end. I take what I wanted For what I've waited Covert trysts intoxicated My backup plan, no longer needed. But the consequence I had failed to keep abated. After desires have been sated. I led you on, so happy that I was able Until my confidence and Plan B were on the table. The morning after, no concern if you are stable. Things don't change Time to move on from this fable."
