Take a Bow

“so what happened with you and your ex?

Is the question I expect.

But no one can guess the rest.

Made breadcrumbs feel like heaven at the end

At the expense of all my boundaries, he made me bend.

Unable to love himself how can I expect him to love me?

Packed up his car and to his friends, I watched him flee.

I fell for his love bombing.

My God he’s extremely charming.

Made breadcrumbs feel like heaven at the end

At the expense of all my boundaries, he made me bend.

I never presumed it wasn’t all ever real.

But he told someone else I love you after one week. How am I supposed to feel?

None of it was real.

How am I supposed to feel?

I fell for his love bombing.

My God he’s extremely charming.

Made breadcrumbs feel like heaven at the end

At the expense of all my boundaries, he made me bend.

I can count how many times on two hands you said I love you to me in five years. That’s even counting the times you got drunk on goddamn beer. How am I supposed to feel was any of it ever real? You massacred my inner spirit, take a bow. But I see you for who you are now. Moving onto your next victim. You’re no longer going to fuck with my nervous system.

I’ll take the bow.

But I see you for who you are now.

Moving onto your next victim.

You’re no longer going to fuck with my nervous system.

I’ll take the bow.

I see you for what you are now.

But I’m stronger and free

I’ll take the bow.
