I Won’t Break the Second Time

I learned your name. From a cracked reflection. Neon truth

in a borrowed stare. Every promise was misdirection. I said I

care. I almost care. You keep your ghost in loaded questions.

I keep my faith in the aftertaste. If love's a trick,

I learned the lesson. But I still play it face to face.

Don't save me the second time. I already know the lie. I fell once

I crossed that line. I won't bleed to feel alive. Don't call it

fake. Don't call it mine. I won't break. The second time.
