Take it Back

I take back

All those soft whispers I shared over the phone

Since the only time you listened

Was for my words of praise,

Not when I didn’t like your drinking

Or your pleas to be my first,

The only one to watch me take a sip of poison

In a cold dingy bar

Or car

Or

Bedroom,

Maybe,

Funny how I always told you no,

Funny how you’d ignore me,

Funny, baby, no,

but you figured a willing heart like mine

deserves a good show;

so, I wish I could take it back

every time I said I loved you,

because every time I did you got closer

and closer

to using every bit of me,

and I nearly forgot everything I used to be.

Take it back,

I'll never see you again.
