Betrayal

Thank you for stabbing me in the back Self-respect is something you lack No one has treated me worse than you But hey that nothing new Somebody once told me when I was small If they can’t respect themselves They won’t respect you at all They were right about one thing I need to stop taking you under my wing I used to love you, I used to fight You were perfect in my eyes, not a flaw in sight You betrayed me and left without a warning or letter You and I both know I deserve so much better I hope you are happy with the life you chose But you left something as delicate as a rose You broke something so beautiful, so perfect And if you can walk away without any guilt Then you just weren’t worth it
