‘That’s what friends are for,’
I thought before you stabbed me
and left me for dead.

She shows you she loves
you, so it’s impossible
not to love her back.

We made eye contact
and I thought you were the one.
Again, I was wrong.

Not even good means
justify a shitty end.
Learn to be better.

Thousands of years,
yet the streets are still the same.
Magic in the air.

We’re perfect strangers
sharing a spot in a bar.
What if you were it?

You tried and you failed.
You gonna give up trying?
You gonna give up?

Did you see my scars?
It wasn’t hard to get them—
a slice of self-hate.

Burn me with your touch.
Blow me a kiss in the night.
Be my only muse.

I know being young
is not the perfect excuse,
but it is the truth.
