I loved you
I loved you so much
I loved you more than
I could ever hope to love
I loved you so much
That now it just hurts
All asked was that you were honest
And communicate your words
You have broken me for the last time
Even if you do want me
You will have to beg and plead now
Because I am sick and tired of constantly being let down
You are a coward
And you hide behind your I love you’s
And you hide behind your pain
And you tell them how you feel praying it won’t come back to me
But this time it did
They didn’t have the right to say anything
But you over everyone didn’t have the right to string me on as if your feelings could change within the hour
Do you love me or do you not
Do you just want me to hang around for you and wait until your 18 with a bouquet of flowers
While you text and talk to whoever has what you “need”
I’m not just gonna sit down
And obey you like a dog
I’m so sick of being beta hound
To someone who only shoots me down
With the 3 ammunition the 3 I gave to you when I said “I love you” and didn’t ask for you to say anything in return
How could I have meant nothing to you
When to me you meant the world
It’s not like when we met I’d only see you in the halls
We were best friends and I had a broken heart from losing the one person I loved above all
And you played me and you say I love you back
I cried over how I wish you could have met her
How I thought it was all in my head
I went crazy just from thinking “could I be making this up”
Because you pursued me first
It doesn’t make any sense to me
And as I come undone
You feed yourself with the scraps of attention people throw away
And beg them not to leave
And while I chose to stay you never loved me like you said or you’d never hurt me in this way
If you had told me maybe I could have coped and understood
But now I’m just heartbroken over someone I never could have lost because she was never mine
That never wanted to be mine
Was I just an accessory to you
Was I just an experience to you
Was I just something broken you wanted to fix and quit when things got hard that made your love grow thin
Was I just a way to make your parents mad
To buy you things
To make you glad
That you weren’t someone like me
That loves so very deeply
Was I just a preference you wanted to pursue do you think my love is a game and that you’ll always be the one I chose
I wanted you to be the only one that I chose
I wanted you to be my mine
Not an accessory
Not an experience
I wanted you to be mine
My family
My world
My everything
I finally loved myself but you went and stole everything
I feel tired and
I feel so angry
And I know I promised I’d never yell
But all I want to do is scream at you for having broken me like everyone who ever hurt me
But maybe I should be more mad at myself for letting it happen
for thinking that we could ever be more than friends again
