╚══ ·:· ✦ ·:· ══╝

As I reached out for your love and affection

You promised that I'd be yours after he'd gone

Yet you left me the feeling of rejection

As you chose another man when you moved on

I bled myself dry over my thoughtlessness

Concealing my sadness with my cotton sleeve

I kept my room cleaned up for the spotlessness

And hid my dagger for what's hard to believe

Then skip to the day you were finally mine

When my emotions returned back to normal

I began to realize that all was not fine

I found something then extremely abnormal

Joking or otherwise, those remarks still hurt

Because what if there's a tiny hint of truth?

Watching you interact and blatantly flirt

What if they all take your accolades as sooth?

They're enfolded, ired; pet names and all

While I get brushed aside like a dirty pest

I'm constantly ignored like an outgrown doll

As I fight to compete with all of the rest

Why should a heart be aching when it's in love

While its husk of an owner curls up to bawl?

Repay my treatment as a goddess from above

I long to feel cared for

Or nothing at all
