green cotton stems


For me. Not for you
Why did you have to come?
YOU invaded MY life!
Don’t you remember?
I didn’t ask to know you
You asked to know me
I didn’t want to talk to you
I wasn’t even interested
You butted yourself into 
My life
You nested yourself here
I didn’t want you before.And I don’t want you now.
What I want is for things to go
Back to the way they were.
Before you ever existed.
I don’t want to know you
I don’t want you in my life. 
I swore off this kind of shit
And here you are putting it 
Right back into my life.
Who the hell do you think you are?
You think that you are so goddamn 
Perfect. Your head filled with incredulous
Lies. Lies I told to make you feel better.
This is my life, damn it. 
What gives you the right to 
Take over?
Go back to where you came from
Let me go. Stop answering. Because I’m going
To stop calling.
We never did exist. And now we never will. 
I don’t care if you’re sick.
Being sick has nothing to do with it
I’ve been sick all my life
It doesn’t stop me.
You hide behind it because you
Are too afraid to face reality and the world 
It comes with. Wake up and smell the coffee.
She’s gone. But worse yet…now I’m gone.
Don’t beg. Don’t feel sorry. Because
You drove me away. 
I don’t know her side of the story. 
But here’s news for you. I don’t care.
I’ve lived my life of tears and broken hearts and regrets. 
I just wasted time again- on you.
I’m sorry. I won’t say I
Will take it back. But I am not happy 
With the outcome. You never were 
Different. You were just another 
Asshole in different jeans and 
Darker hair. 
I was the stupid one. I fell for you
Stupid little tricks. 
You got me. What do you want now?
You think you deserve a cookie? A 
Medal? Screw you!
Wish I had never let you
Have the best of me.
In any case
It was never meant to be. 
Or I wouldn’t be here.
