in all honesty
i was trapped with you
between how much you wanted me to be on your arm
to show me off as if i was a piece of art
and i myself needing something to occupy my hurting heart
i held myself hostage the way you held your gaze
i believed i deserved nothing more than your halfway love songs
and your promises that busted like marble thrown from the balcony
your faith in our forever disgusted me
and that is why i could not stay
because forever with you would have been short
i would not have thrived in your environment
before long you would've watered me with acid
