Abdicate

Shattering the pieces, a lullaby torn in two, fairy-tale lies, and unforgettable you. I clench your jacket, reminiscent flashbacks- as I fall to my knees- you aren't coming back. And if by some miraculous fault you come running back you'll realize the door's been locked- chained- abandoned, I gave up. Because once was enough, two was too much a third isn't possible though I'll forever miss your touch- you lost the game this time, and though I dread it- I hope it hurts, I hope you feel the same pain from the same game you tried to win over and over having what ever you'd like- expectations. But no, this time there's no happy ending, this time you lost me- for ever- hence the word ever, because you've had me twice before, swept me off my feet and let me hit the ice cold floor- each time I was blind to your sly selfish ways and each time I tumbled, feet over head hoping you'd save my collapse- hoping you'd be the one- hoping you'd be the one I trusted, the one I believed but really, you're just like the rest.
