She told me you were with her,
But I already knew,
"It was business as usual,"
And I believed it, too.
I know you were faithful,
When you didn't have to be,
I would trust you anywhere,
While I drown in jealousy.
And I would die for you,
But I guess that means nothing,
With too many people vying for the same prize,
That same old look in your tired eyes.
You hear the pain in my voice,
I know you can feel my plight,
I know that you need me,
I can tell it's not right.
I could choke on the silence,
You laugh at the irony,
I know there are many girls,
But I thought there was one me.
I know you don't give a shit
About my broken heart
I thought we were at the ending,
Now I'm right back at the start.
Maybe I gaslit myself,
Thinking it was working well,
Maybe it was something else,
You're an angel from hell.
And I would kill for you,
But I know you hear that on repeat,
I kiss those lips of yours,
Knowing full well where else they've been.
You know you can tell it's wrong,
You know all about the pain,
Having feelings for someone,
Treat them like cards in a game.
Taught me I was replaceable,
Thought we'd run a different course,
But who needs one girl,
When you've got four?
I know there are many of them,
But there's just one me,
I feel like we're sinking,
And I'm the sole casualty.
The water's too much,
You gave me just enough,
Now I feel like a stranger,
Should I have stayed a fool?

smoke oxygen.
PoetryYou were my oxygen, Now I just want smoke, You can stare death in the face, Now I want your memories to go. Your mom's okay, your dad isn't, just call him back, I don't want to say a single word about them, So I'll just stop at that. If I was oxygen...
