Bad Habits.

I have this really bad habit,

Of confusing the sweet taste of trust with the brief bittersweetness of oncoming betrayal,

A bad habit where,

No, I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry, please don't leave me, I won't do it again. Sorry. It wasn't your fault at all.

It's mine.

A bad habit where although I see the knife in your hand, and the slashes through my heart, I convince myself maybe I deserved it. Maybe I did this to myself.

A bad habit where I should of kicked you out, and I can't. Where I said I would if you did what you did again, and I can never keep my word.

I have a bad habit of not being able to let go of bad influences for me.

A bad habit of becoming drawn to people who only want advice for their own issues, and when I try and open myself up despite my mind screaming "no, they won't care!"

I don't listen.
And I get disappointed every time where I try to spread my heart out only for you to turn away or look half interested.

I have this bad habit of knowing right from wrong, and then making excuses for you. A bad habit where I complain to you about someone, and when they say something mean, I become defensive.

A bad habit where I never know the difference between the people right now and the memories.

And I just can't let go.

-D.
