Pretty lies, pretty eyes but pretty scared, like a deer caught in the headlights, I knew my time had come, I was falling in love with an image of you, a song of you run miles intertwined in my mind, your imperfections could not stop me, they only helped me to see through your perfect, beneath your beautiful, behind your scars, behold your cries, like a newborn baby.
and then like a ship, it sinks in, I was secondhand, polythene, backup plan, draw it in.
I looked left and right and all i saw were stop signs, “road work ahead”, and then it was too late, I was too comfortable to let go, blanketed with fear and pain with a stone cold heart, icing on top of the cake,
whoever will break me?
Nessa ❤️
