3. two broken puzzle pieces

it’s bad for me

to think of you

the way i’ve been,

but for some reason,

i can’t quit ya,

you kissed me

in a way

that screwed up

my life,

but it was only ever

gonna last

one night,

and ever since,

i haven’t felt right,

the pursuit

of self-indulgence

gave us that time,

but i can’t just be

an object of pleasure,

and that’s the only thing

that keeps us together.

feel like

you only call

when it’s convenient,

only come around

when someone

won’t do you right,

disappear for two years

then fall back

when you need a fix,

i’m sorry,

but i can’t be

your experiment,

you might get

my language,

but maybe

that’s not the way

we should communicate,

i keep thinking

about calling,

but all the situations

i’m playing

in my head

don’t go so well

in the end.

i don’t love you,

i just love

the feeling you bring,

and i can’t

be stuck

in a situationship,

it’s not what i deserve

and not what you

should give,

two broken puzzle pieces

in the wrong place

don’t end up fixing

the bigger picture,

and no matter

how much i miss

what it felt like

in the moment,

it’s for the best

if we just leave it

where it is.

in the past.
