You were the biggest disappointment of all

January 17, 2015

If you came back to me

I'd like to think I'd turn you away

And give you the same cold shoulder that you gave me

Slam the door in your face and tell you I don't need you

But I don't know if I could do that

Because although you burned down the wood holding my insides together like a house

The termites beat you to it

So I'd end up blaming the broken structure

Rather than your matches
