I don't want to say,
That every word of yours was a lie.
I don't want to believe that.
If you were to tell me everything you said,
Were all just words used to manipulate me,
I would have no trouble believing it,
Especially now.

If you come back,
Let it be the last time.
Stay or leave when you're done,
I'm losing any patience I had.

If you stay gone,
Any normal person would say,
"Good riddance. She was toxic."
Yet I would continue to mourn you,
As if you were a dead best friend.
Or, that is, until the day comes,
That this was never healthy for me.

Either way,
I've lost my will to care.
Perhaps I will no longer stay up,
Until the ridiculous hours,
If you need me,
Because I don't want this to happen again,
For that would be the third time.

I'm so tired.
Come back to me,
Or stay away from me.
