No Such Thing

She’s out to get you

She builds you up, but only to tear you down

She snoops around

Critiquing you’re mistakes, analyzing your thoughts

She uses it against you

And you let her because you want your best friend back

There isn’t any friendship

Just enemies

He’s out to get you

He gives you hope, but only to laugh in your face

He walks around

Watching your movements, listening to your conversations

He uses it against you

And you let him because you want to believe in true love

There isn’t any love

Just deception

They’re out to get you

They fabricate your dreams, but only to watch you fall

They circle around

Feeding off your weakness, swooping in for the kill

They use it against you

And you let them because you want to see the good in people

There isn’t any good

Just malice

You’re out to get you

You talk yourself up, but only to talk yourself down

You crawl around

Remembering your mistakes, cringing at the thought

You use it against you

And you let yourself because you think you’re not good enough

There isn’t such a thing

Only imperfection
