All I Wanted

Honesty

By Abigail RosePublished 5 years ago 2 min read

All I wanted was a little bit of honesty

You had me believing that you were speaking the truth to me

I guess you just lied while you laid on her and then lied to me

You kept telling me how beautiful I was

How no one had ever treated you like I did

Maybe that was true

But I guess that I still wasn't enough for you

All I did was forgive and forget

All you did was accept

My apologies, when you were the one doing this to me

I cried as you lied

I swear I died a little inside

You saw every part of me

I exposed myself to you fully

In every way

You began to know me

You took advantage of my vulnerability

And ran away from your own accountability

You tried to hide everything from me to the best of your ability

But guess where that got you

Guess where that left you

You see

All I ever wanted was a little honesty

Maybe a little vulnerability

A little accountability

At least

To the best of your ability

But

Still you weaved your web of lies

Hoping that I wouldn't look you in the eyes

That I wouldn't see you through those lies

You said that you were falling for me

That I wasn't the only one falling

But fuck

I guess that was nothin but a lie

You played with fire and you got burned this time

Tell me

How does it feel to know that you let those lies build up until they spilled

How does it feel

Tell me

How does it feel to know that

Those same lies you told to keep me

Are what made you lose me

Tell me

Did my confrontation make you cower and scour for an explanation that would allow you to keep me

Did it make you quiver when I acted so bitter

Tell me

Now that I'm gone do you finally see how you were wrong

I hope you never treat another like you treated me

I hope that now you realise just what you lost

I would've moved the world for you

Given my everything to you

Made sure you were finally listened too

But

I guess that wasn't enough for you.
