Boys

They make me stressed and depressed and then eventually obsessed

Just waiting for that text of reply all the time

Boys

All they do is lie saying shit like "sorry i took 44 hours to reply because my phone died" like boy i saw you was online

Making me miss out family time because all i crave for is a reply

Then when you do reply it's with "lol" "aha" "what you doing" like babe I'm done clueing

Boys

Call me everything but my name treating this all like some sort of game it's all the same so I cant complain

Boys is just short for fuckboy

Then you drop that girl i dont see you that way in another way just go away

But now I'm too clingy and attached you got me here thinking we were a match and that you snatched my heart

Planning our future our wedding all the way until death do us part fuck im a mess

I'm drowning in these words you text basically forcing me to sext

Claiming do it for me if you love me but i dont ? Not anymore

You taught me to move on from being a girl attaching and believing these fairytales with happy endings

It's time to stop pretending and to stop depending on you

I need to stop spending so much time with my eyes glued to my iPhone screen i need to get out of this routine staying stuck between your mixed messages in all sorts of languages so I understand well now I understand perfectly

You are a boy and I am a woman and like peterpan said

You will never grow up
