My Greatest Rejection
MY GREATEST REJECTION
You lied to me
You pushed me
Capitalized with my weakest points
For through trust I let you see those too
You knew my greatest fear was rejection
You then used that against me by
Concerning me till I forgot my own principles
Saying words that would penetrate so deep
I swear even the sharpest knife does not go that far
You made me believe you were more of a friend than an enemy who's only here to take and not give.
I would meekly accept your tormentors
Doings purely because I was scared you'd reject me
You would hurt me
And later that day you sweet talk...
Using the same mouth you used to exert
Words sharper that a sword
Though I knew it was lies
I'd let you tell them to me
They made me think you won't
Reject me, you would patronize me
You had a way of softening me
I knew it but I knew I'd rather be fooled
That rejected for you sugercoated your acts of you fooling me
I knew I wouldn't stand seeing you
Happy with someone else
I knew that would be worse than
The lies you tell me
Little did I know that you even after
So much anguish you would
Still walk away
I had immaturely thought you'd
Owe more than this
I was callow cause I even thought
You constantly lied cause you cared!
It doesn't matter anymore
You've wrecked me up
What more can I fear
What else will I cry for
YOU HAVE REJECTED ME!
