My first mistake.
My mind stopped me from looking
But I wanted to see
I kept running to others to distract me
But I couldn’t escape you
I grew to know you more and more
Vines of confusion grew around me
I was stuck
My second mistake.
Everyone else was easy to figure out
But not you
I read people like books
But you were a language I didn’t speak
I tried and tried to read but just couldn’t understand
I was enraptured by the challenge
As I tried to figure you out more and more
I was trapped
My last mistake.
I tried to hate you with everything in me
But I couldn’t
Everyday I tore myself down
But talking to you built me back up
I didn’t think you saw through my act
But you did
I gave everything until I couldn’t
You made the pain bearable
I was beaten and tired
But I was done.
