Doodlebug

i left you

right before sanity

left me

ironic coincidence

since you were the crazy one

but don’t flatter yourself

my breakdown had nothing to do with you

you were just the last

in a long line

of bad decisions

next to an even longer line

of chances never taken

out of fear

i take full responsibility

for all of it

even the grand i lent you

i should’ve known

i could kiss that goodbye too

the warning signs were everywhere

in bright neon lights

with bells and whistles

sometimes we only see what we want to see

i saw a pretty boy

who drew pretty pictures

whose pretty eyes looking at me

made me feel pretty

for the first time

in years

looks can be so deceiving….

i heard Arizona didn’t work out

that’s a shame

i thought the desert would be perfect for you

since you’re a fucking cactus

i wonder who you’re pricking now
