Toxic

I wanted you to love me

Like I thought of you

I ached and I obsessed over you

I did everything to gain your attention

And would do anything to keep it

So I would lose myself in you

And I would fade from view

Until only a shell of myself remains

A memory in the rear view mirror

See that there is the problem:

I would do anything to keep it

Even if it meant changing myself

Transforming myself

into the best reflection

To keep your undivided attention

But in the end,

I realized you could never love me

Because I never loved myself enough

to keep me
