i can't be anything more
than what you see
a sweetened version of your
utmost desires
flourishing only to please
people like you and everyone
everyone around me
as i take, take, take
and take the pain you hold
inside your wretched hearts
i soak in the blood
and the tears you shed
beat me, thrust into me
use me like i am nothing
but that
that
that
i will make you happy
until you no longer need me
and the day will come
as it always does
when you find someone better
whom you wouldn't treat as unfairly
as you have treated me
and i will smile
i will greet her with open arms
for i have taught you everything
everything you needed to know
to keep her around
held her place
while she ventured into the unknown
until you found her at your doorstep
where you once found me
but threw me out of
i will be happy
for you,
i will
