Interrogations of the teenage mind

Make Believe

Remember when we used to play house
You'd make your imaginary mac and cheese
You'd pour the coffee into the plastic pink Tikes cup
We'd talk like adults
We'd walk like adults
Friendship was daisy chains and sleepovers
It was matching pj's and glittered bracelets
You took your hand in mine and said
Let's become friends
And the worst part of it all was that I consented
I gave you permission to walk into my heart
I let my guard and drank the pain you tossed me
You were everything I aspired to be
Intelligent and intriguing
And I let that take the reins in our relationship
I wanted you to invite me places
I wanted us to be us against the world
I wanted us to be legendary
But I guess to you, that's all it was
A legend, a myth, a tale
An equation without solution
But did you know what you meant to me?
Do you know how much I would give up for you?
Did you how much I loved you?
You took my heart
You held it
And threw it away, veins and all
