yep.

Yep, yep, yep

I knew this would happen.

I knew I’d make the mistake of falling for you

and sacrifice my pride for your pleasure

I wish I was stronger

but I’m not.


I knew I’d make the mistake of thinking you were falling for me

I feel like you tricked me

like you’re not allowed to suffer

and it all works out

in Disney movies

but not here, not when you play with real people.


Somehow you’ve managed to separate me from my soul

I’m disconnected with my intentions

which are bound to my intuitions

and which I’ve ignored.


And, lately, you’ve been playing these games with me

these fun little tic-tac-toe sessions

and I’m always the “x”

I feel like your target

I am, aren’t I?


I’m what you aimed for

and you bring me down

and you act like you like me,

and you confess love

when its sounds goods

and when it rolls off your tongue

and you hurt the non-person

this someone.


But, oh, I‘ve got to end it

it has to stop here

I seldom confront you on anything

and you’ve always been playing these games with me

and I’m bitter.


I wish I stood up for myself sooner,

instead of letting it build up and around

all that letting was time wasted.


I am a real person

and you don’t have to treat me like one


but, I do.
