You

Like A Moth To A Flame

For six months I practiced patience
Not trying to rush a connection
Then things never moved forward
Now I’m stuck in reflection
What did you even want
Were you just playing a game
As I search for any answers
You bury all of your pain
But I know you’ll think of me one day
When you see 11:11 on the clock
Maybe driving past a bowling alley
Or downtown near my old block
When you’re on our favorite game
And you see someone playing Kayle
Or another person named Grimm
And it’ll hit you like hell
I hope you can’t hear GNF now
Without thinking about me
“You don’t know what you have ’til it’s gone”
Is going to sink in eventually
Knowing that you didn’t want to try
And never told me what you wanted
Though I’m empty just the same 
You’ll be the one who’s haunted

Closer

I never thought we’d get close enough
But I learned the changes of your tone
From joking around in a group of people
To the disheartened frustration you’ve shown
The care when speaking to your sick dog
That I’d hear sometimes as you’d let me go
Distinguishable differences in your voice
That you let me close enough to know

Forfeit

You told me you wouldn’t rage quit again
But you’re done playing this game
Dropped me out of boredom
And I wish I could do the same
For years going in the same circle
You erase the progress every time
And there’s no cheat codes
I guess you won’t ever be mine
I was looking for my duo
But you prefer to play solo
As I surrender once again
This is the final deathblow
