“ you made it look so damned easy to leave me. ”

“ i still find pieces of you in me. ”

“ perhaps not forgetting you is the only forever we will ever have. ”

“ you and i will always be unfinished business. ”

“ hell exists. it’s here, 3am, awake and without you. ”

“ i regret the end, the way we couldn’t leave one another without wounds. the way we made it seem as if all the love we shared was just wasted time. ”

a prompt list from halsey’s 2021 album: if i can’t have love, i want power, adjust any as needed!

01.  𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘛𝘙𝘈𝘋𝘐𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕.

oh, the loneliest girl in town.

she’s easy on the eyes.

her soul is black and it’s a fact.

her sneer will eat you alive.

and the buyer always brings her back.

because all she does is cry.

so take what you want, take what you can.

take what you please, don’t give a damn.

ask for forgiveness, never premission.

it’s in the blood and this is tadition.

his smile hides a lie.

her fear will eat her alive.

well, she got the life she wanted.

you can’t take it back, it’s as good as gone.

i hope what’s left will last all summer long.

and they said that boys were boys but they were wrong.

02.  𝘉𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘚 𝘐𝘕 𝘚𝘈𝘕𝘛𝘈 𝘍𝘌.

don’t call me by my name.

all of this is temporary.

watch as i slip away for your sake.

well, maybe i can hold you in the dark.

you won’t even notice me depart.

leaving through the door without a word.

you won’t even notice, little bird.

better off dead.

so i reckon i’m headed to hell instead.

so don’t wait for me.

it’s not a happy ending.

jesus needed a three day weekend.

to sort out all his bullshit.

figure out the treason.

i’ve been searching for a fortified defense.

i could keep your bed warm, otherwise, i’m useless.

i don’t really mean it cause who the fuck would choose this?

03.  𝘌𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘌𝘙 𝘛𝘏𝘈𝘕 𝘓𝘠𝘐𝘕𝘎.

i’m whatever you make me.

and you make me more and more a villain every day.

but you don’t know, you reap, you sow.

whatever you give to me, from yourself, you take.

well, if you’re a hater, then hate the creator.

it’s in your image i’m made.

one eye opened and one eye closed.

i lost all my faith and all hope.

that everything means anything at all.

one eye broken and one eye bruised.

cause i gave myself away for you.

you liar, you don’t love me too.

it’s easy for you, after all.

my heart is massive but it’s empty.

a permanent part of me, that innocent artery.

but it beats harder every time you come around.

but do you love the sound?

i sleep with one eye opened and one eye closed.

losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me.

04.  𝘓𝘐𝘓𝘐𝘛𝘏.

well, i’m perfect when it comes to first impressions.

well, i romanticize and then i get to stressing.

a big brain like i’m teaching it a lesson.

baby, it’s a blessing, yeah.

you got me thinking i was too mean.

well, everything that i say, i believe.

tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve.

change like a season, reason for nothing.

i am disruptive, i have been corrupted.

and by now, i don’t need an introduction.

i been gone because i been on this road too long.

you know i get too caught up in a moment.

i can’t call it love if i show it.

i just fuck things up if you noticed.

have you noticed. tell me, have you noticed?

now i’m wondering, if i ever wanted to hold you.

it never mattered if i owned you.

cause you let anybody with a body control you.

and you know it too.

the more that you give away, the more that you have.

05.  𝘎𝘐𝘙𝘓 𝘐𝘚 𝘈 𝘎𝘜𝘕.

i feel lighter in the wasitline.

with no hands around me, no spit in my teeth.

no, i’m not your daydream.

i won’t have your baby.

stop cause you’re killing my vibe.

it’s a shot in the dark.

i’m not a walk in the park.

i come loaded with the safety switched off.

this girl is a gun and we’ve been having some fun.

and i can show if you turn the lights on.

i keep waiting for luck to come swallow me up.

i feel better when the boys stop calling.

i keep falling in love.

this measuring cup is overflowing with the same damn problems.

and you’ll be wishing you crossed your fingers.

oh, but god, is it fun when you can have more than one.

so let me show you how to touch my trigger.

my newest babys testing me lately.

i cannot take it, i love it, i break it.

i can’t be stressing to give you attention.

oh, cause it’s never enough so i’m giving you up.

and you’ll be better with a nice girl.

06.  𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘈𝘚𝘒𝘌𝘋 𝘍𝘖𝘙 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘚.

i don’t know what you want from me.

when i’m suburnt lips and summer feet.

i’m tattered like these levi jeans.

now what the fuck does all this mean?

you know i’m still somebody’s daughter, see.

i spilled the milk you left for me.

my tears are falling flawlessly now.

go on and be a big girl.

you asked for this now.

everybody’s gonna drown you out.

you better show them why you talk so loud.

you wished upon a falling star.

who the hell is in your bed?

you better kiss goodnight and give some head.

and then next, the morning comes instead.

well, is this the life that lies ahead now?

i want my cake on a silver platter.

i want a fistfull in my hands.

i want a beautiful boys despondent laughter.

i wanna ruin all my plans.

i want a fist around my throat.

i want to cry so hard, i choke.

i want everything i asked for.
