fool

I'm pretty sure i never asked you to come back into my life.

So when you give me that look

I don't think i need to explain why

You are stepping closer to me

as if i will fall under your spell yet again

oh my, you are naive

did you truly think things didn't change?

Your name, your presence

it means nothing now

so forcing your way back in

will not do anything for you

i tried to make this as clean as possible

just a simple message - stay away

but if you can't understand that

well I'm sorry, but its not my fault

If you don't back off

then I'm afraid i will have to step up

and push you away this time

because I'm not prepared to let you back in

never without a fight

I'll shove you around, don't think i am the same girl as i was back then

i have grown, i have lived, i have learned,

but you- you were not part of this

i did it all on my own

so when  you come here, claiming some space in my heart

you do not own anything

you do not belong anywhere

So I'm sorry if i came across as cruel

but this smirk i wear is just to show you

that this time, you are the fool.
