A/N: This is my kind of “F-U” to my ex, who’s basically been attempting to knock my confidence down and only managing to annoy me and make me want to slap him. R&R.

Strange

We are strange creatures
Us who wear our hearts on our sleeves
Hand them to those we know
To lie and deceive
And we beg, “Oh, please don’t break it,
For it is fragile as glass.”
Though we know that you’ll drop it
It’ll shatter at last

We are strange creatures
Us who let you do as you please
You tread lightly on us
Hurt us with ease
And we cry, “But you promised
To love and be true!”
And you laugh in our faces
So cold and cruel

You are strange creatures
You who cannot let the end be the end
Each day you send missiles
To hurt and defend
And we sob, “You don’t mean that!
You liar, you cheat!”
And we hide in our pillows
Our last safe retreat

I am a strange creature
I who refuse to let you win
I am indestructible
I won’t let you in
And you snap every insult
You’re grasping at straws
And I smile to myself
In spite of what was
