Hope by Coco Kiju

I should’ve believed you when you said it was over. 
Should have thought deep with a mind sober. 
Instead of acting out and losing composure, 
I should’ve tried to get some kind of closure.

The next time around, I shouldn't have given in. 
But your charm and charisma managed to lure me in. 
If only I had the strength to ignore your fatal grin, 
it would’ve been my absolute and biggest win.

It happened again. I should’ve realized. 
It was bound to be. Why was I even surprised? 
It was a pattern that I already recognized. 
And yet for some reason ,I let myself get hypnotized.

The more that I hurt, the more I could cope. 
I needed to find grip. I was falling down the slope. 
Next time for sure, I am gonna say nope 
'cause what destroyed me each time, was having hope.
