Dracarys


you said you had written me a letter

so i was going 101 on the 101

because i thought you were the one

because i allowed 

a fucking flicker of fucking hope

into my heart 

i thought maybe you regretted

regretted the way you fucking tore my heart out

the way you burned down our fucking castle

of dreams and weddings and a fucking future

 

so i ripped open the letter

the same way you ripped open my sanity

but you weren’t sorry

you didn’t regret shit

 

don’t write me any more fucking letters-

i’ll just burn them,

the same way you burned this.
