I guess

Michelle Richardson 1993 (Fort Lauderdale)



There was nothing left to impress
I tried operating as less
But it felt like I was suffocating
He’s swiping it’s triggering
He left me on read
Didn’t care what I would do instead
Just seems like an old rerun
Something overrated and not fun
What if I’m done shouting inside
What if I’m done only in god to confide
I’m tired of letting you assume it’s okay
It’s sickening you’d think just because sex I’d stay
Let me know when you get your head straight
Thought a wedding we had a date
But you’re proving to be the biggest lesson
Honestly I’m not stressing
Intuition is a bad logged reminder
Your silliness I didn’t have to find her
So get away from me
All I want is to be free
It’s time to leave
I need nothing more than to live in peace
