Ex Girlfriend

by jackie-harrington

You came out of nowhere You came darting through my blind spot You definitely caught me off guard Talking turned into flirting Flirting turned into I like you I like you turned into I love you How did we get there How did everything fall apart You said I hurt you I know I did My feelings were unclear and I dragged your heart around like it was a rag doll I understand what I did, believe me I used to stay awake at night with pains in my chest It felt like knives but I knew I deserved it You were crazy You still are crazy But I can't say that I was completely sane And I did love you But I wasn't ready for the love that you wanted to give me Now we are on opposite sides of the playing field You hate me You wanted to die because of me... well and other people You thought I was your saviour I just wanted you to be healthy Now you text and call my phone explaining how worthless I am And how much you hate me You talk about my insecurities like they are yours to tell I trust you with my secrets and you play them like your favorite song on repeat You try to get to me I'm sorry for what I did I hope you can forgive me Forgive me so you can focus on yourself I don't hate you But I can't save you
