SKETCH OF DORIAN GRAY
(11/18/2021)


back

I can't say I'd ever seen
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
