I know in my heart that you will ruin me.

You'll break me by your kindness, care,

But you'll trash me by your absences.

Because we both know you'll leave.

You always do, at the end of the day

No matter how much I beg you to stay,

I've pleaded you to,

I need you still,

But you won't, and you never will

Because I'm just the puppy you see at the shelter,

The one you entertain but adopts like, never

(How do they not see your ruthlessness?)

Playing nice,

But hiding with a front,

You have skin in the game

And you own your shames

You can win at the blame

But you're stuck in your frame

I never had you

But maybe you never had you either
