Non Playable Character

Our love spilled here on the floor
Took the high road again, here I am
Picking up the pieces of the past
I see they never meant a fucking thing
You’ve had one foot out the door
It wasn’t an ‘if’ but a when you ran
All the years to the Monday morning trash
There’s not even value in the ring
I’ve been trying to speak up for years
But the words never come out of my mouth
Tears soak the pillow and I fade away
Biting my tongue beats upsetting you
Every day it’s only what you want to hear
My poker face cannot hide the doubts
Treat me like characters that you play
Deleting me for space when you’re through
Unlovable, unfuckable, what am I?
A stop in the road all expenses paid?
Was I an appetizer to the main course
That someone cooked better than me?
Below your standards, can’t tell me why
Is stability the reason you stayed?
Or is it all the emotional support
You learned nice guys all give for free?
Been saying for years that I’d die alone
Your touch is less often than a full moon
I forgot what it feels like to be alive
You won’t notice I’m gone until you’re poor
The lies that you love me I can’t condone
Just easier to punch my last ticket soon
Than to give anyone else my keys to drive
Don’t want to play in your game anymore
