make it up to me

she asked politely

By kazmyn Published 2 years ago 1 min read

make it up to me

you said you’d make it up to me

but it seems to me like all you’ve done

is let me down

and i don’t blame you

i blame myself for believing

that the first time you let me down

was the last time

and that i could change

your habit of agreeing

to things you cannot hold

so i will try

i have to - let go

i have to

it seems you’ve already done so

and i’ve said all i had to, but you know i know you know

need to know

i need to know

did you ever know if you wanted

me or the idea of my unknown

because as soon as i let you in

you let me go

and that says more than anything i could ever know.
