I am not here because I like you,

I am just kissing you because

Your lips are convenient 

Because hers are not here

You are simply a rebound

Someone to take my mind 

Off of her

Someone to keep me from thinking

About her

Someone to distract me from

Wanting her

I don’t actually want you.

You are just someone to think about

Someone to replace her in my mind

Someone to make meaningless memories with

But I can tell you don’t know that

You are in too deep

Oh no, I never meant for this to happen

I never meant for you to fall in love,

I only ever meant for you to help me 

Fall out of it 

I never meant to leave you alone

I never meant to make you feel that way

But somehow, I don’t feel as bad as I should

Actually, I don’t feel bad at all

I hate to admit it, but I feel, kinda, good.

Maybe this is what will help

Maybe, you hurting over me,

Can help me stop hurting over her

So I continue to kiss you although 

It means nothing

I continue to whisper sweet nothings to you

To keep you attached. 

And when you finally start to get better

To get away from me

I will reel you back in with my 

Meaningless kisses

And my

Sweet whispers

And my

Light touches

And my

Cute messages

But really, it is all just a game to me

You are just a game to me.

You are just a rebound.

The inspiration for this piece was my ex boyfriend. When we broke up I though I would try to see through his eyes, this is what cafe from that.
