You’re searching through my blog
For answers I’d given had you asked
Because I’m an open book
You’re the one behind a mask
Did you listen to my playlist
On your drive out of town?
I can see what you saw
Is that why you broke down?
You unraveled at my words
About you breaking my heart
Antagonizing me for writing about it
Like you had no part
You never let me know you
You never wanted to commit
So when I’ve said “hey stranger”
Just know that I really meant it

I’ve been lost in your perception
Since the last time that we kissed
I am tired of you weighing me down
It’s been years of this
You shouldn’t have reached out
When I opted for silence
I was choosing myself
Because you didn’t want alliance
I’ve pulled back a lot
But this silence is draining
And I’m finding some clarity
That this isn’t sustaining
I search our old conversations
Evidence that we existed
But outside of messages
No pictures or things gifted
I know I wasn’t always right
But that doesn’t make me wrong
Because I spent years putting out fires
That you were starting all along
You lit the bridge to watch me burn
Attrition couldn’t come quicker
I mourn the ghost of who we never were
All we ever amounted to was a flicker
You made me the scapegoat
Vindicated in your excuses
Then you discarded all the evidence
To forget you wouldn’t choose this

You’ve chained me in emotional purgatory
There’s no more reanimation
I’m not a coping mechanism
To save you from your damnation
I waited for a love
That was never promised
We never talked about it
We were everything but honest
I felt the under current when we’d speak
And I tried not to get sucked in
Your wounds reflected my own
In a way neither of us could win
I spent years bargaining with myself
Now here I am in acceptance
I couldn’t walk away
Because you were my reflectance
I got consequences
And you only had excuses
So you left me in your past
Once you saw me as useless
