Poem
I want... Well- It's just- like... Oh, give me some decency. Don't tell me to tell you what I want when you won't even tell me how you feel. Don't expect me to do all of the lifting, it is both of our responsibilities. Don't let this fall on me, to tell you what I think when you won't even tell me what you did. Don't tell me to tell you what to do when you won't show me who you are. Because- Because when all else fails, I can't know what I want without knowing how you feel. I can't know what I think without knowing what you did. And I can't know what the hell I am supposed to do because I don't even know who you are. So do not put the blame on me, for begging for answers and in my confusion- assuming the worst. Don't give me the responsibility of picking up the mess that WE made. Give me some decency so I can spare what's left of my dignity. Give me a chance at a relationship built on honesty, Don’t cosplay as an honest man when you won’t be honest to me. Please. Spare my dignity. Give me some decency. Don't tell me to tell you what I want. Don't tell me to tell you what I think. Don’t tell me to tell you what to do. I don't know what you feel, I don't know what I want. I don’t know what I think, I don’t know what you did. I don’t know what we are meant to do because I don't even know who you are. My name is no professor x, I can’t read minds and I can’t read hearts. Please. If you won’t tell me what you feel, If you won’t tell me what you did, and if you won’t even show me what kind of person you are, don’t expect me to know. Spare me the blood, Spare me the sweat. I won’t waste another night begging I am done. I am taking what is left of my dignity and I will be on my way. Because you’re not good for me. These guessing games are not good for me. The burden of having to read your mind and then tell you mine has become too much to bear. So I am gone. You have driven me away. And now maybe you will take away some of that responsibility. Because it is not my burden that you drove me away. It is not my problem that I gave you every chance and you refused to take it. Instead, you took the cowards way. You lied, you hid, and when the inevitably hit the fan, you tried to run- and then you expected me to stay. It is too late now. I don’t want to know that you miss me. I don’t want you to tell me why you did what you did. And I don’t want your excuses telling me you are just misunderstood. I took my dignity, and now I am gone.
