Abuse

I look into your eyes after its all said and done
And remember the hurt and pain I caused
The promises and dreams I sold to you
The lies that put your love life on pause

See I wasn’t the one for you 
And we both knew this to an extent
You to the point of trying to make it work 
And me just getting out of it what I can get

See you clinched on to me tightly 
Even though it was bulls**t I was feeding you
Because honestly you were dead weight 
Unless it was those times that I needed you

And me being me I had moved on so long ago
But you being you and doing what you had to do
Try your hardest to make us compatible 
And I was going against love and if I failed
 I guess you were just my collateral 

How it hurts me to reminisce on the fact
That I held you back so long
How you were trying to make it right
But my intentions were so wrong

Those mornings that you would call me
 While in the presence of loneliness
And how I would come and leave 
And you would only wish….. 

Only wish I would stay to hold you 
Or even maybe chill for a while
But I played the game just as I played you
And it all seemed so foul

How I did you so wrong for so long
But even though I knew that you realized 
For some reason you still had hope...
Hope on a dream that had died

And long after it all you found love 
So is it me disappearing or me losing you
Whatever it was with our situation
I’m sorry for abusing you
