Because I was smart enough to know it all.
Lipstick stains on your collar,
She got carried away,
My old tattoo on her,
My existence didn't sway.
Take synced with footsteps,
I hear your calls,
But your stories don't matter,
Because I always knew it all.
You told me it wasn't true,
Fuck it, you had the gall,
Had me in the palm of your hand,
And I was dumb enough to fall.
Beckoning the footsteps,
You said the problem was me,
Crying at the staircase,
I was smart enough to see.
You said you loved these eyes,
Look what they see now,
Look at them bleed glitter,
A tear stained stream on the ground,
A curse on us, I knew how,
The silence killed me, I couldn't scream it out,
But I always knew, yes, I had the clues,
I always knew, you twisted the narrative,
But hey you, the one I called baby,
You knew I always knew,
Because I always knew.
Old orange polo,
Always saying I was a no-show,
Cause I always knew,
Lipstick stains weren't mine,
Sanity dancing on a thin line,
Lips drew into a thin smile,
Yours were dancing on mine.
Cause I was smart enough to hang up the call.
Cause I always smart enough to know where you've been.
You're deleting texts,
Trying to erase memories from my mind,
You said I remember nothing,
And that you're wasting your time,
But if you've been so sad
The last one month 9 days,
Why do you still kiss me,
And smile and say,
"You're making it up,
You're doing it to yourself,"
But I knew it all,
I knew we were playing pretend.
With the gaslighting,
And deflecting questions,
Deceit in your blood,
No honours able to any mentions,
If you wanted to leave,
Why didn't you say so,
Why'd you have to act like
I was the one closing the show?
Call me crazy again,
But I could've sworn you wanted me first,
That bed of lilies,
They were dying of thirst,
I think the smoke, it went to your head,
And into your mind, it took my spot instead.
I was smart enough to know it all,
You knew it too,
That I always, always knew,
The fact that I always knew.

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...
