Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack.


She let go, her mistake

That's what she got for tempting fate

Lately, every day is bad

Reading messages reminding her of the love they had

Always another person acting stupid

Now suddenly she hates cupid

Stuck being nice to the new boy

Hoping he's just the new toy

That there's no real connection

Missing all of her affection

The late night calls

Now there are just holes in the walls

The good morning kisses

Already used her three wishes

Wished for peace, love, and forgiveness

She threw it away due to her impulsiveness

Now she's caught in memories

It was the love of the centuries

But it's all gone now

The only question is how

Thought she was doing the right thing

She clipped her own wings


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece after my ex-girlfriend and I separated. The title 'Background Noise' refers to the constant buzzing in my head that occurred after as a result of the continuous anxiety attacks I was having.
