Is pouring all your energy into one thing a waste of time?
Do you even bother giving any more work into it if they don't?
If they're not reciprocating, does it even count?
All that work you put into them, all those texts
Did it mean anything to them?
What if there's something new though?
Well, new-old, it's been there the whole time this other thing has been there
It's gotten more attention, but not more overthinking
You feel free when this other thing comes up, but the burden of your last failed thing is still there
It's still tapping you on the shoulder, it's your shadow, reminding you it is still there
That you won't forget it
Now that toxic thing gets all your attention, while that perfectly healthy one just sits there
You know you shouldn't be drawn to a toxic thing, but you are!!
It's intoxicating your brain, it's burning you
You've been burned, but you haven't realized it!
You haven't realized that poison reached your brain
You're still waiting for that toxic thing
It's too late
You're in too deep
You're addicted and it's all your fault!
