Destructive

By Morgan M

on the surface you're as perfect

as a beach at seaside

but you're as dangerous

as the sharks below the tide

i should've listened to my friends

when they would advise

but i already had butterflies

the hold you have on people is destructive

and to my life, it was nothing but disruptive

i now know you have a pattern of being self-destructive

so i wont fall for it (this time)

i know it would be unproductive

because saying "I'm sorry, i didn't know that hurt you" 

doesn't mean anything when you don't follow-through

because once i looked deeper into your eyes

all i really saw was an endless pit of lies

and that was when i eventually started

seeing beyond your disguise

so you started to improvise

you may like to hide 

behind your acts of demise

but truth be told

attention is something you will always seek

and truth be told, that is what makes you weak

now that its over, i look back and analyze

i realize now, how much i would revise

you may act as though you're "so nonchalant"

and that you "couldn't care less"

trust me, you're not fooling me

i know carelessness isn't something you possess

i know the truth is you hate yourself so much

that putting others down is your only crutch

you told me i was too sensitive and overdramatic

but it's not my fault you love to be problematic

the way that you treated me was unjust

and you know i deserve love not lust

i can take accountability for what went down

but i won't apologize for the lies

you've been spreading around

last thing I'm gonna say

when people ask you what happened

keep it real, you know what you said

you know what you did

and you know damn well how it made me feel
