Scared to make myself vulnerable
Knowing how much I could have liked you
Trying not to ruin a good thing
Because there is no re-do
Keeping my walls up
When you’re the thing that scares me
Feeling safe with you
But getting hurt again is terrifying
Not sure where this was going
But every story has an end
So is this ours
Or will we still be friends?

You were unexpected to say the least
When your messages consumed my time
I was looking for a distraction
And you seemed to be inclined
A spontaneous invitation
An arrangement from a joke
I accepted your offer
Which you did not revoke
The taste of whiskey on your tongue
The scent tingling my nose
I admit I kissed you first
You played me like dominos
A careless decision in the midnight hours
A feeling I’ve never known
I got lost inside your games
When I should have stayed alone

Lost in thoughts
If I’ve done something wrong
Messages go unread
Like you’re dragging me along
Rewrite my poetry
Until the meaning is gone
Lose you in the verses
Where you didn’t belong
Letting you go
Letter by letter
I won’t stay on the sidelines
Knowing I deserve better
