Honesty hour

I just need another taste

By Faith BossPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I gotta be honest with myself

I know damn well we can’t be “just friends”,

At least not right now for sure.

Truthfully I’m counting on it.

I know that’s “so selfish “ of me,

Yeah yeah I really don’t give a fuck.

You’ve been selfish too.

Im not condemning you for it, no

I get it, I understand.

You wanted your cake, my cake and

Her cake.

I wanted the same, for you.

Whatever you wanted, I wanted for you.

Even if it wasn’t me.

Is that pathetic?

Is that selfish?

Is that selfish?

I’m the one left with not even a crumb.

Just the faint taste of pure bliss on my tongue.

Tell me how’d it taste?

Tell me how’d I taste?

Is this what you wanted?

To be strangers?

We can be just friends.
