Retrospect

I stayed, and I stayed, and I stayed

when you gave me reasons to leave.

Call it blind hope, call me naive.

Always urging me to walk away,

but I stayed, I stayed, and I stayed.

Call it self-destructive, poor judgment, it’s true

Call me crazy; I thought I’d save you.

I thought, if not me, then who? 

It’s funny looking back, 2 months wiser

Could’ve sworn you needed a savior, but it’s her.

Someone stubborn, harsh, relentless,

more like yourself, a fucking mess.

You might not agree; then again, when did you?

All the more reason it’ll work out better for you two.

You swore I’d someday hate you, 

and I swore I never would.

I hate a lot about you, but as always, I’m keeping my word.
