NO LONGER YOURS-Tanjila Pettis

Your words are enticing,

But the meaning behind them reeks of vanity.

Constantly interrupting my thoughts

So that you could feed off of my shame.

My guilt and all of my fuck ups,

I confess all I have done.

But I forgave myself a long time ago,

So now you have none.

Nothing to keep my past afloat.

You’re just angry,

Because your cheap ass liquid and antique

Don’t work anymore.

So you sent a few friends over

Trying to convince me otherwise.

But I said nope.

I was the reason you wanted to live.

I had nothing to gain and you had nothing to give.

A perfect pair.

You’re too stuck to the ground

And I was too high in the air.

You used my heart aches to convince me that 

I needed you.

But what I had found out before it was too late

You wanted me just like you.

No friends,

No happy holidays,

No family and children around.

They choose to stay away.

No matter how high I got my 

Heart would bring me back

And that’s something I didn’t notice back then.

A heart is what you lack.

I’m gone.

No

Longer yours.
