Your random acts of kindness and sweet words keep me going ,
but it was only a facade .
I knew you'd never be able to love me ,
but I hopelessly believed in you
even when you had broken me down
multiple times ,
I'd give you a dozen chances ,
making up excuses for the way you treated me , but I deserve so much more .
took me long enough to realise
I was suffocating my own flame
tryna keep your fire burning .
