Reality Check
You watch as I bleed,
Stand by and watch as I die.
The promises that turned into
Lies as the words slipped past
Your lips. “I will always be there”
Means nothing anymore. You
Watch as I waste away and
Say you care and yet you
Set running when it’s time
To be real. I am your
Reality check and instead of
Manning up, you prove to me
That everything you said
Was just pretty words,
Filling my heart with hope
And crushing me as the
Truth crashes down.
