you're full of contradictions
is there a point that I'm missing
I thought you were infuriated
by all the lust thrown your way
not an inkling of genuine love
your ex didn't care for you
it's been almost a year with her new boo
yet she still sends me and my friends
dirty looks as if I'd stolen you
right from her fingertips
yet you sulked and mourned
the death of the "love" you two had
I don't think I'll ever understand
how could you
complain about a surplus of lust
and yet that's all you gave
when I wanted to drench you
in what could've been steadfast love
I thought you were more mature
more sophisticated than that
but once again
I was wrong
my friend said she's a penny
and I'm a stack of hundred dollar bills
yet you treat her like gold
and I'm merely a bronze medal
guess it's all about perception
right?
I come in second
and she's perfection
right?
