when you looked down
i swear you looked terrified
like you would crack
and i believed it
but
the next time,
and the next
and the next
i became apathetic
in fact
i thought it was funny
how you could
think you could
fool everyone with
your fake emotions
and breakdowns
all to seem
vulnerable
but now
i laugh
because
i've seen that trick before
because
you're no better than the rest of us
i'm glad you realize this too
this **** that i dated was super manipulative and we aren't on good terms but hey at least i have poetry
