Remember Me


The problem is:

I trusted you

And you used that

Played me like

A deck of cards

Like a game I thought we were

Playing together

But you had an

Ace up your sleeve

 

There are tv shows

I can not watch without

Thinking of you

 

Memories I can no longer

Reflect on without

Wanting to cry

 

For all your pretense of

Being an outsider

Being no part in this game

Everyone seemed to be a part of

You were the biggest

Player of them all

 

So if that makes you a hypocrite

Then what does that make me?

 

All blind worship and

No brain for someone

I dared to call a friend

 

The problem is:

I trusted you

I still trust you

In a sick sort of way

Because I can’t

Reconcile this

Girl who betrayed me With this

girl I know

I can not put the

Pieces together

 

But you have always been

A puzzle I could not solve

 

The problem is:

I trusted you

I still trust you

I want to trust you

 

But I shouldn’t

 

Because you would rather see me

Hurt and scraping by

An ant you sprayed with repellent

Screamed “get out of here 

No one wants you”

Said I want to see

You hurt

 

And you stepped on me

Squashed me like the bug 

I was to you

 

But the thing about stepping

On broken people

Like broken glass

Is they will cut you

 

And when you feel the

Sting of the blood

Flowing out of your veins

As shards of glass pierce you

I hope

You remember me
