Burning solitary light bulb
with a frayed pull string
that snaps and breaks effortlessly
don't be such a drama queen

Wearing a bleeding heart on some sleeve
tell tale signs of rehearsed lines
bet this wasn't what he wanted
so likewise, too unkind

Do you know what you want?
then go for it this time
don't chicken out in the eleventh hour
he might be that, "one in a million find"

Somebody that you do not want to know
because everything is superficial
just for show,
but that's the way it usually goes

Dare to be proven wrong
never singing the same song
life feels so incredibly long
just wanting to truly belong
