Cheetah

I thought I could trust you.

Can I trust you?

Why did you ask me that?

Do you really think I would?

I thought you liked me.

Do you just think I’m a creep?

Maybe I’m spiraling.

But am I spiraling?

There isn’t a lot there to interpret,

You said what you said.

Were you joking?

It didn’t sound like you were joking.

But if you weren’t joking,

Why would you say that?

I thought we were getting closer

And that made a part of me scared

Because I’ve been hurt before

And you know this so

Why would you say that?

I’m not like that, I promise.

Why would you think that I’m like that?

Are you just like the rest of them?

A hunter warming up to their prey?

You know I can recognize the signs by now,

So you thought you’d play a slower game?

But I see it clear as day.

I’ll take a small step away.

All it will take,

Is one more thing,

And I’m in the wind.

I’m a fast runnner when it comes down to shit like this.
