The Dream Boy


That boy.

That boy you see on Instagram,

You think he is cute?

Well on the outside

He is…

But on the inside

He will crush you.

He will break you.

As soon as you connect with him,

Fall deeply in love with him,

He will end you.

He will tell you he loves you,

That he wants you,

That he cares.

And then he will forget you,

He will forget you

When something better comes along.

He will forget you

When he gets tired of a relationship.

And he will forget you

When he gets bored.

At the end of the night

when he calls you babe,

he is calling someone else one too. 

In the morning 

when he is still awake 

he stayed up too late talking to her.

That boy is a cheater,

a liar,

and a destroyer.

That boy.

He is not worth it...
