She fuelled all my bad habits in the best way possible. I've never met perfection but she was the closest I ever came to feeling worthy of someone above mediocracy. She judged me, dissected me, took what she wanted from me, bus tickets and all. Took my opinions and moulded them into a formula for the perfect human, She was the dirt that clinged to my skin like whispers of where ive been without telling a soul And i let her be everything when I was her nothing I let her I let her devour me whole and I gave her every last morsel of my soul and let her wipe her sin stained hands all over my insecurities, leaving me sullied, even more so than before. I let her take my hand and drag me to hell because it meant I would be by her side burning. What I didn't realise was that she had an escape route planned, my only escape was to grow accustomed to flames. It seems it's the people who you love the most are the people who you allow to hurt you more than any physical pain you ever felt before. Because pain of the body will heal, you cannot repair trust or hearts the like a punctured tire She took my hand and told me 'chin up buttercup, you'll never be the first, the last, or the only **** up' She lit me up Took a drag from my roll up Flashed me a smile that would make every sinner weak at their knees But she's in love with a New Yorker now And that was the end of us
