the days danced into nights
long quiet nights
silence, when the only
thing I wanted to hear was you.
selfish.
thoughtless.
reckless.
but so were you.
this wasn’t a game started with one
we both play our part
you give me your words
i give you my heart
You make fantasy
i make promises
you sing
your song
and I sway to the music
it always sounded better in my head.
the force pulled together
much easier
than the slow drift apart
i grasp,
you miss
no.
you let go,
only catching when you want me
when you need me
when you need
the comfort
i’m an expert at the comfort
i’m an expert at you.
i never give up
i give in
i give in to my need
my need of needing
you
someone
me.
selfish.
thoughtless.
reckless.
but so were you.
you claimed you would be a light
but only when you wanted to be
you selfishly held my hand
not for me,
for you
and the reckless way you threw
your love around
my love away
something happened
slowly
i wanted
but didn’t need
eventually
i didn’t want, need, love, or even like
you.
something happened.
you.
