The Cost

Written by

this is likely to sting
but as your friend 
i must do the right thing
remember our conversations on
codependency and attachment anxiety
you pledged an asshole sobriety
a clean break from the toxic variety

i'm looking out 
for your best interest rate
the return on your current investment 
isn't looking great 

i see the crash coming
emotional debts will accrue
the balance becomes steep
love's currency devalued
by promises he'll never keep
are you prepared for the withdrawals 
when the love-bombs cease
and that charming man
becomes a controlling beast

now you're playing house
planning babies and a marriage
but before you fall deeper in debt
i'm here to remind you
it's best to divest. because ...
the beginning is as good as it gets
