We had our own personal agenda, our own way of doing things

But gaslighting my thoughts had become your greatest ability

Setting them in a perfect frenzy to your delight, and that’s when I knew,

You had become a liability to my sanity

The pretty, frivolous words you used turned into honey

Sweet enough to make me swallow my words while enamoring me

I ignored the signs, against my better judgement

Continued to turn a blind eye, and refusing to see

Where did we go wrong, I can’t help but wonder

More importantly, where did I go wrong

When did I allow such cheap words to satisfy me

And more than anything, how could I allow myself to be strung along

From the beginning, there were no good intentions

Just another girl, another conquest to earn

I became another notch to be placed on your belt

And this is the lesson I have taken so painstakingly slow to learn

Your smart mouth and smooth tongue have prolonged the end

Promises are softly spoken, “This time I’ll be better,” you say

We both know they’re empty words, yet here we are

Starting another round in this dangerous game we play
