I tell myself,
no more.
I will not see you again,
I am done, done, done.
Yet,
I find myself driving to you
that same night
with the flimsiest excuse.
Baltimore
you are an ex
I can't quite get over.
I keep remembering
the good times,
and I can't let you go.
We say,
let's be friends,
but
when we see each other
we never say anything
important.
Baltimore
I say
no more,
but I keep coming back to you,
and you,
these days,
you're indifferent.
We have one night stands
where no one comes
and I slink away early in the morning.
There is no coffee,
no breakfast,
no romance,
no anything at all.
Baltimore,
we're a habit
I don't know how to break.
Baltimore
I don't know
what I want from you,
what I need from you,
I just know
I won't get it.
Still,
I keep coming back,
keep hoping
one day you'll feel like home.
But Baltimore,
I know better,
and anyway,
don't you know?
Exes
can't be friends.
