You asked for my opinions
Showed me that you care
Treated this like something real
I don’t remember falling at all
Then you handed me a time bomb
What did I do to push you away?
Do I distance myself
Should I keep trying
Is there a point to either
Just a distraction
A place holder
Nothing more
Waiting for the day you choose someone else
Am I that little to you
Anger issues more safe or familiar to you
Is that an ex of yours?
Or am I still the home-wrecker?
Watching the bomb count down
Waiting
Just waiting
Because you won’t choose me
Playing boyfriend without the title
You show that you want this
Your mouth says otherwise
You want me there
In the audience for you
I just have to stay away
Can’t interact with you
Am I worth less than his feelings?
I’m more than a place holder
More than a distraction
I’m worth more
Than a ticking time bomb
This constant charade
So contradictory
I can’t stand this silent timer
Tick
Tick
Tick
This all away
Am I just the back up
The just in case
Or are they
Waiting for this bombs last hour
Our last moment
