Aftertaste

Ever since I met you, I kept you  at arms length for so long. But when i finally let you in, your hands reached between my ribs to grasp at  at my empty chest. And when  you realized how they left me so heartlessly, you did the same . 

If there's one thin g I've learned  from everythin g , It's that sometimes the person you want to hate  the most is yourself . I'm still stru g glin g  to come to terms with that .

I have a bad habit of looking for comfort in the people  who make me feel the most insecure. Yet I continue to wonder why I get taken advantage of.
