Rights and Wrongs

You never bothered to learn anything about me
You never bothered to ask how I am
You never let me console you when you were sad
You never wanted to learn who I truly am

All you got was the surface layer of me
You didn't ask what my favourite things were
While I could name all of yours in a heart beat

I tried to make things better
I tried to learn how you work

But as soon as things changed
And it was no longer about you
It was too much and you left

You made me hate myself
So much I wanted to change for you
Not for me

I cry not because you're gone
I cry because I let you do this to me

I used to count the seconds 
until you woke up
Then I could share my day with you
Start yours with me
End mine with you

Maybe it was too much
Maybe it wasn't enough

Or maybe it was all wrong
Even if it felt so right

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
