5. ACCEPTANCE

Yeah after you abused and belittled me Silent treatment if I didn’t give you my body and zip up my lips Coraline Button eyes so I couldn’t see you hit on guys Sewn on

I don’t want to drown in the ocean of us anymore Too many shark bites from your friends Eroticization of abandonment no more I survived a trauma bond with a ghost of a man My love language is the Florida weather Inconsistently beautiful like your green eyes Acceptance poem Done with collateral damage with your war with yourself You’re just mad I got the last laugh The last ghost The last swing in the ring of your ugly ass friends Ring full of clowns and your ugly ass friend

Cat and mouse game you and I Which one of us will Falling for your little trap You’ve moved on But you still hit me up when you hate yourself Years of this game Pretending to be enemies to protect from your human owners Giving me emotional black eyes Hoping I’d just die off the show I almost died from your traps

In a forest fire that sets your life on fire My problems vines suffocating your lies He’s the poison I keep swirling my tongue in
