Liar

Lies

You promised me you wouldn’t go

You promised me you’d support me and stay with me to the end

Why did you lie to me?

When did you become a liar?

I thought you cared about me more than this

You just abandoned me here like an old toy,

I felt all alone, not only in the moment, but in the world

How could someone seem to care so much but make you feel so worthless

What did I do to deserve this?

Was it all the effort I put into helping you without reciprocation,

Or was it because I helped you so much that I was suffocating you.

Were you just using me as a tool to make your life easier?

How could I not help someone I love in a time of need

regardless of how small the problem is

I love you

I thought you loved me,

But you only love seeing others do your bidding.

As long as you succeed and feel good, then you’re happy.

Otherwise you become the victim

And the cycle continues for those naive enough to help you.

I’m naive

I’m gullible

I care enough to see others happy.

Did that make me undesirable?

I can’t help but think I must truly mean nothing if

I’m always being taken advantage of,

not only by you, but by everyone I know.

Is this the reason why you left?

No,

You didn’t just leave,

You gave up on me.

Now I’m giving up on you.

I’m no longer anyone's tool

No longer a stepping stone for someone else’s life

I choose to be

Free
