Lovers or Losers?

No longer blindfolded
by your antics,
or your words that never rang true.
I�m free of the hold you had on me.
But now what is there for me to do?
I have to reacclimatize to this new life.
A life without you.

I�ve loved you,
much more than I�ve loved myself.
And you see, that�s the problem.
You�re the only thing I�ve ever known.
I was weak for you,
I had no idea how to be strong.
Not even an inkling.
And when this boat went down,
you abandoned ship, even if it meant
leaving me sinking.
And I still took you back,
what the fuck was I thinking?

I should have gave myself more credit.
My mama raised me better than that.
I�m knowledgeable of most things,
but I was an idiot, who fell for your traps.

Love is a gamble,
and I truly thought that I was winning.
And with the hand that we were dealt,
I never saw the ending.
So tell me, are we lovers or losers?
Because this game has gotten old.
I�ve finally mustered up the courage to leave.
Quite frankly, I�ve gotten bold.
It�s just taken me a long time to see.
We are losers, not lovers.
We were never meant to be.
