Curl Up

Curl Up

A Poem by Kanicolas
"

Shouldn't have done what you did

"
Curl up my knees to my chest
This is how we lay in bed together.
You meet your feet with mine and hug me closer, tighter.
When we called it hooking up,
We made promises that it wasn't anything. 
We were just a bunch of sex and talk that was too crooked to fit in a sentence.

I thought, anybody but you and I wouldn't have cried
And it's funny cause for me it was infatuation at first sight, but I know that I never even caught your eye.
It's funny cause you told me you were over that girl but you lied
And it's funny cause I said that you should go ahead and explore
But it's no longer funny because you forgot all about me and decided to pick her.

You built me up then left me alone
I wanted you to come and kiss me, and I wanted more than a conversation over the phone. 
But I couldn't remember what you felt like, and I couldn't tell if it pained you to say hello.
Wish it wasn't so, but there's always a spark of hope when you talk to me, 
A damn chill that comes quickly,
And I keep thinking, is it always going to be this s****y?

But I'm good enough,
More than you'll ever know.
I've been through the worst,
And I'm still here, highs and lows
See if I wasn't right for you, you shouldn't have made me feel the things you did
Shouldn't have made me write about you because you're the worst muse that there is

You shouldn't have told me stories and you shouldn't have played those games
You shouldn't have said you were sorry and you shouldn't have taken me in
You shouldn't have talked to two girls and you shouldn't have kissed me on my forehead
You shouldn't have left me stranded and you shouldn't have told me who you spent the night with.
