No More Albatraoz

It has always been that smile First time it flashed and I knew I was in a pit I fought for coffee, you stood by liquor I should’ve known… It was wrong to let someone in too early Provoked by liquor, convinced by loneliness Our first meeting had to go through mourning I mourned alone... I should’ve known… I met you more and more Fell for my own delusion while you were unsure I can’t keep up. You are now ghosting I should’ve known… Occasions on a weekend Conversations trashed on a dead-end It’s clearer now, I am more than your troll Should I have known? I am not freezing, but I am cold I am not wounded, but pinched I am not crying, but yawning Should I have known? And just like that we faded The SMS I’m getting past 10pm on a weekend How could I miss the signs of a booty call? I should’ve known… I am too worth it to be in your downfall.
