goddess

does he look at you the same way i do?

does he kiss you the way i wished to?

does he hold you together

like i held your hand?

i guess you'll never understand

i worship you like an idol

but idols shouldn't look at him that way

.

i can't breathe when you look at me

but you don't look at me anymore

goddesses worship gods and gods worship themselves

you used to treat yourself right until you treated him better

traded your self-worth for his acceptance

meanwhile i'm slipping away from my own existence

driving myself crazy over your smile

and you're diving after him all the while

.

do you know how much better you can have than him?

do you know what i'd give to be him?

he circles other girls and still you still stay

you say "i'm sure that he still loves me"

and "it was just a phase"

when really you've been saying that every single day

.

do you remember what i'd do for you?

do you remember who has worshiped you?

you moved out of the spotlight just for him

but there'd be so much more if you stepped back in

if he's a fish then you're the ocean

he stands right under your nose

and you still let him

you're obsessed

but we wouldn't even care if you left
