suffocating

you wanted a relationship where we would both make each other worse

and damn, if that wasn’t something that we were good at

thrown together like magnets

polar opposites

impossible to pull apart

but I dripped anger

and you spilled lies

and I burned the love letter you wrote me

but my favorite compliment is still the first line

when you called me intelligent and intimidating

and I realized that I’ve never felt more seen

but we’ve both learned to spit daggers

our words sharp

we love the fight more than each other

But you’ve never let me steam roll you

and it means that I won’t leave
