I was always
the type of girl
who never gave a ****.
Would fall in love so fast
but yeah,
I would always give it up.
And you?
You were the type
to see that love in my eyes.
Came in disguised
as someone
who was supposed to be mine.
I really loved that about you.
But you switched up like the weather.
You went from hot to cold,
from “I love you”
to “whatever.”
And it didn’t take long
for that cycle to spin.
Tears on my behalf,
while you sat there with a grin.
I think you knew what you were doing.
This ain’t your first time.
First time you saw
a girl with true love in her eyes.
But one thing about me?
I get bored very easy.
Bored of the back-and-forth,
the stomach turns,
the feeling-queasy kind of love
that never sits easy.
You knew what you were doing.
Let’s be honest.
It wasn’t even my fight,
was it?
You just saw another girl
with true love in her eyes
Another girl
for your love to disguise.
When you do it, it’s cool.
Okay.
But when she does, it’s “whack”?
Now it’s every other day,
you arguing,
putting **** on your dad.
The love bombs.
The switching up.
The back-and-forth.
The feeling queasy.
You made it feel
like you could push
all your problems
on me.
Like the minute I showed love,
your life was supposed to get easy.
But I’m not doing that.
Not anymore.
You dumped
every insecurity on me—
and watched me drown
in wounds that weren’t even mine.
You pushed all your insecurities out to me
and now,
I’m finally stepping back
And that’s when
you finally started acting right.
But that didn’t last,
now did it?
I’d be lying if I said
I left the first time
or the second
or even the third.
Because you?
You always had the right words
the ones that pulled me back
into being her.
That girl.
The one with true love in her eyes.
Those eyes
you once tried so hard
to hide from your disguise.
But this time…
was the last time
she let you dim that love
in her eyes.
there's a whole story behind the way people look at you
