butterflies gone bad

is it butterflies you give me 
or u get me  all in my feels
it is how you disappear for weeks
and show up like we’re ideal  

I’m here arguing with myself
debating if it’s real or in my head 
one second you’re telling me you miss me
the next it’s hours left on read 

just tried to have you by side  
with you I was ready for any ride 
I’d look in your direction, and search that sparkle In your eye  
then took less than 30 second, to know it was only sparking  on mine. 

wanted  make you smile throughout the day  
& make you miss me when I’m gone 
have you thinking bout much you love me 
pillow talking me telling me i was the one 

one minute its walking on eggshells
yet when you hug me, I’ve felt most safe
you held me like it was honest
now left getting through the path of lies you paved.
