You leave me crying every time
After I speak with you
Whether in person or otherwise.
No longer do I smile from seeing you
Because you removed the blinders-
The belief that you were here for me.
I cannot subject myself to this abuse,
The neglectful glances and
Hurtful remarks you aim at me.
You once made me so full of joy
But I ruined it for myself
By being too needy for your taste.
You scolded me for always
Making it about me, but it was;
I was not good enough for you.
I even believed that once,
But now I know the truth:
You were beneath me in every way.
You could not live up to my standard;
No one has, even I.
But someday, someone will.
