Cowardice
Normally,
I'd love to hear
But not today
No, sorry, no
You expect me to be okay with this
You told me how
You loved me
More than the other girls
And I just wanted to go
Somewhere else
Not in particular
Only away
I was tempted
Think of the status!
The smirks I could hand out
Like halloween candy
(bitter, isn't it?)
And the time I could spend
Just wasting away with you
Volatile and triumphant
And then I was at the edge of a pool
So calm and decided and right
Then the thought snuck in
That maybe you need me,
maybe forever, maybe just one night
And I was disgusted
With me for considering
(You're like a child, after all)
With you for discovering me
But only post-four-month-wait
I really don't mean
Half the things that I say
Don't be intrigued by
My careless lies
You don't deserve me
I don't want you
So let's just call it a day
