Who used to stay up late talking?
You were drunk and had no one else to listen

Love the invisible fishing line that hooked me directly through my gills even still to this day

You caught me without using a single piece of bait

Let me love you
He said
Directly looking at me
⏳⌛
He wanted to *play

Like with any other girl
⏳⌛
He wanted a game
That's what I gave him
⏳⌛
I looked him in the eyes
And saw the hint
He was nothing but a liar
⏳⌛
No-one likes a girl
Like me
My heart as cold as stone
Something he could not see
⏳⌛
In the name of the ones who suffered
I will make his life miserable
⏳⌛
From me
He had gotten time
For proofing himself
⏳⌛
But
Before walking away
I told him to
*Let the game begin
Hopefully you will like it
Poet-Whisperer Jan 2015
You grew like spores
In the cracks of my skin
So fast, so strong
You carved your roots
Directly into me
Making it almost
Impossible
To get rid of you
Without having me
Break myself too…
