don’t call me beautiful if you’re not going to stay
You’re actions spoke louder
Don’t call me beautiful
If you’re not going to stay.
I swear it’s
Ten times worse
Then the boys
I sleep with now
Who don’t call me beautiful
They call me
Whatever they want
Until they’re done
And I crawl out of bed
And go home
You called me beautiful
Why would you do that
I’m watching you now
On some other girls arm
And you probably
Call her beautiful
Too
But I guess you mean it with her
Because you’re going to
Stay
I didn’t need kindness
I didn’t need pity
I needed you to mean it
When you said
I was enough
But if I was enough
Why are you
With her
I was ready
I would’ve gotten on a plane
So fast
But it wasn’t enough.
I wasn’t enough.
Despite how many times
You said I was-
you’re actions spoke louder.

I have the inexplainable urge
