As the curtain draws near
I ease my expectations
Back into reality
She failed me once again
Tore my heart
Crumbled my ego
And totally annihilated
My self-esteem
But hey, I’m a sap!
I’ll believe anything
She says!
She injects me
Over and over and
Once again
Through carefully
Planted hooks
Through carefully
Crafted words
And carefully
Practiced gestures
She weaves her magic
And reels me back
As a self-appointed sucker
I have the right
To waive my rights
Of common sense
I have the right
To believe
In fairytales
I have the right
To be human
