i got too used to you
singing your sweet words to me
whispering your promises of forever love
and taking care of me
but i don’t think you mean them anymore
and maybe you never did
if this isn’t forever, then I want farewell
i am willing to hear the lullabies that fall
from other lips that will kiss mine
if yours keep breaking promises
and let me down, over and over again

things change in an instant
i want you to marry me
but all it takes is knowing you lied
and now i don’t know who you are to me
we were fixing something broken
i thought we were doing great – I thought
things were better than ever
but i guess not
there is nothing okay about lying to me
there is hardly anything worse you could do
to erode trust and erase love with a selfish
stupid lie
you stupid, selfish liar
there’s nothing more imporant to you
than getting what you want
at anyone’s expense
All these years later
and I still feel like a little girl,
hiding in a copse of trees
while I’m kissing my boyfriend,
like it’s something not okay.
Meanwhile, he convinces himself
that it is okay – or he doesn’t,
in which case no matter what happens,
if he stays or if he goes,
I’m still going to be
hiding in the leaves
waiting
for the right person
to find me.
