Burn (#Wattys2017)

You tried to undermine

what I was to you,

who you became after

you met me;

I do not believe you were better

before I came into your life.

I know you find it hard to tell the truth

so I can't give you fault

if it kills you to swallow it,

But before you met me,

you were a walking trainwreck,

coated in insecurities that were

flashing like neon signs

in the way no one had seen

your face in days

because of all the makeup.

How easy it was though

to wipe that facade off

once you realized that even

without coloured in eyebrows,

someone would still truly

care for you.

I truly cared for you,

and the only payback i ever received

were empty promises of

"I'll be there, text me tonight,"

feeling so alone by your side

that even a teacher's draws

felt like better company,

a knife to my back

when I wasn't there to notice,

and jealousy when I

finally started smiling.
