Ghosted

Folder: 
Dedications

Sometimes I think 

I'm just being paranoid,

but then the grenade falls on me. 

 

And I realize,

in my neuroticism,

I was right all along. 

 

My world comes  

crashing down on me

like a house of cards.

 

Flashbacks of crying

hysterically in his arms, 

inconsolable.

 

And here I am again

caught up in 

this web of emotions.

 

I'm still that girl 

waiting for a guy 

to come have sex with me.

 

Until I realize 

he never was planning 

to come to see me.

 

The feeling of being 

rejected, ghosted,

never gets old. 

 

I was left on read

just like every time before

and it left me wrecked.
