Grocery List

You keep telling these lies
I’m tired of the falsehoods
That are pulling a veil over my eyes
I’d leave if I could
But you seem to draw me in with a glance
Smiling obliviously in this game
This never-ending dance
Has me acting the same
Way I always do—like a fool.
Explain to me why I scare you
But yet you pull
Let go at the last second
Realizing that I’m not what you want after all
Not even offering your hand
And after all of this you have the gall
To still turn to me and smile
And helplessly I smile back
Hoping that in awhile
I will be over this—over you
You still have no idea what you do
This naïve girl’s helpless heart
She herself tears apart
Hoping to find an explanation of why
She keeps getting dropped
Liked a feather in the sky
Carelessly blown from man to man
Each pretend to care who I am
But in the end brush me off too
Well, nothing is new
You’re still the same old you
And even when you said your first hello
I knew it was only a matter of time
Before you would go
And these lines are all I have to show
Because of my silly girlish ways
They are culminating to say
I guess I’m moving on.
