SKETCH OF DORIAN GRAY (11/18/2021) back Exotic fish in a tank, You talked until my stomach hurt I felt guilty for your mistakes The promises you made mean nothing, You want what you can't have The promises I wanted to make meant nothing, I wanted what I couldn't have You were a fragment of my hopes, The surface I wanted to break, I thought about you night and day I made premature plans with you I was the game in your crosshair, The one who would set you free From the torment that haunted you, Your fixation on the taste of iron I gave you everything you wanted, Everything you begged for and more, You made my heart race, But you wanted it to beat faster Like the last man you chased, And those I learned to fear, What you needed to hear Isn't what any person could tell you Neither the first nor second, I don't belong to you And I never wanted from you What you wanted from me I argue with you in my mind In hopes to find closure You're a good actor But I'm a better one |
