things are better

lonelyraccoon

Things are better

Now that we didn’t work out

See, you had been something I wanted for a long time

And I confused my nerves for finally getting close to my fantasy

When really it was you that scared me

You dug your way into my brain at one of my weakest points

Claiming your spot like a king on a throne

But you don’t rule me

I do

I’ve been reclaiming that throne, it hasn’t been an easy battle

So I let you slip in, you know exactly what that makes you

A thief in the night

Set on stealing my most prized possessions

You knew there were thieves before you, but they weren’t lusted after nearly as much as you

They were pawn in my ploy for attention

But you...

I actually liked you

Or so my used, tired, weak, abused, groomed heart

made me think
