when I said
I doubt you'd come back
I didn't think it would be true

people like you
don't come back
you probably think that about me too

but what is it that I miss?
your ignorant bliss
the way you would brag
about how you would kiss
the opposite of me

have the audacity
to say we would play by my rules
have the audacity
to say you would do anything for me

but what more can I expect
I knew
that people like you
don't come back

Look around me
it's no longer the same
Am I the one to shame

How does it feel
to have your future
your life
your dreams
shattered

and still have to put
a smile on your Face
while pretending
it's all the same

Saturn and Venus
miles away
loyalty remains
She has a dream
He has her ring
Saturn gifts her the reflection of the moons
Venus gifts him the warmth of the sun

spoiled in silver
golden skin

Saturn and Venus,
me and him

me?
liking you?
what makes you think that?
the playlist I made about you?
the smile that appears on my face at the thought of you?
the eyes I only have for you?
the way I had to play it off when you liked someone else?
the way my heart skips a beat when I see you?
the way my face turns red when I'm near you?
the way I had to accept you didn't reach back?

me?
like you?
what makes you think that?

My back is straight
shoulders back
chin up
but my gaze looks down
I don't owe anyone
but to myself

Sitting out on the bench
second option, always the best
Haunted before the 31st,
ghosted before revelation

An epiphany of love
or maybe you're just lonely
sit me on the bench
but I can't sit forever

You could come back
but will I be there ?
why do I keep waiting for a yes
from a person who acts like a no?

Breadcrumbs or lunch
out on the bench
sitting with the ghost
of who we could've been

When I hear a song
That reminds me of you,
It becomes my favorite
