the letdown

vices

empathy aint ever been
my strong suit,
you're familiar as hell with that
it's evident in how I treat you.
when you're cold,
I'm colder, it's always a competition.
if I'm in flames, it's you
who flicked the match.
but when I rise from the ashes,
you're the one I'd search for.
selflessness ain't either,
my pride runs me.
you're a couple rungs
below me in that ladder,
have I ever complained? would i?
hell nah.
a fatal attraction is common,
and what we have common is pain

last bar isn't mine, it's from poetic justice by Kendrick Lamar. if you know me well you already know I fucking worship kdot lmao.
