Neglect

After all these years

I've been too naive to see

Who you truly are

Who I truly am 

And who you tried to make me be

After all the lies, the disrespect

The tears, sorrow, and pain

After all the sleepless nights

And abused helpings hands

I now see I am only used only for your gain

The lies that drip off your tongue are as sweet as honey

I love you, you say

I want to believe it's a lie

Even though you love yourself more

You love me in your own broken way.

But you will always be you

And I will always be I

And the fact of the matter is

The dispicable woman you tried to create

Has been left behind to die.
