i will regret this

i've never been one to read into astrology, but lately i find myself checking your horoscope to see how you've been.
she knows this is his biggest fear, but still she pushes on,
hitting ignore on his heart,
'view later' on those tears.
"distance is just a word" but you are nowhere near speechless.

i know who you are & i know this isn't your intention, but the similarity to years ago is uncanny & my gullible mind won't let me forget.
i'm too eager to fall and quicker to forgive and ignore.
i take hits like the best of champions.
i reel like the fastest top.
i cover it up like the best of con artists,
but let myself be known like the worst of poets.


but you still have me if you want me.
