every sign that led me to you was a fabrication
trust me,
i've retraced my steps
and walked past them all.
a lie, each and every last one.
i must've been lost
among the clouds of admiration
and misread.
CAUTION: emotional torment ahead
YIELD to oncoming heartbreak for self love
STOP assigning feelings to the wrong people
or maybe you cast a spell on me
unknowingly.
it allowed me to perceive you
as amazing
while not allowing me
to overlook your positives
and see the horror
that lay behind your beckoning eyes.
you did what I could not
entice myself
to believe you were good enough
you don't deserve me,
but i sure as hell
deserve myself.
