Why did you give up on us?
Why did you make a point of pointing out others who had?
On you, or in general?
In good times or bad.

Why do lovers say stupid shit they don’t mean?
I fell for your philosophical line.
I’d rather you had stated your truth,
“I’m only in this for 50 nighttimes.”

Why did you give up on your dream?
The one before the two times before?
Did you want to be alone?
Then why are you knocking at my door?
