Manic pixie dream

I was your manic pixie dream girl- or so you thought.
You couldn’t understand why I didn’t jump at the chance to save you.
You knew I would love you- if I just gave in.

Enslave me, let my sweet, quirky habits stroke your ego,
Fill your empty, tired soul with excitement and adventure.
Watch me as I pull myself from car wrecks and don’t drown in the flames.
Watch me as I self medicate with booze and sex with strangers.
I could be your cute train wreck.

But I was flighty, always flitting just out of your reach.
Unable to tie me down and control me, you changed the story.
Switched my role from dream girl to heartbreaking bitch instead.
