The Best Revenge

One door closes and another one opens at least that’s what they say I should have slammed and locked the door the night you threw me away But here I am, left with all this heartbreak and no chance to convey Do you think about this all as much as I do? Because all the good times are fading and the lies are breaking through I need to know, what did I really mean to you? I’m losing faith in my search for any sign of caring The blatant signs of your lack of empathy are becoming overbearing I keep stitching myself up but it’s hard to maintain at the rate I’m tearing I’m afraid this will be something that I just can’t bury I’ll be stuck with the crippling weight of a deception that I can’t carry While you flutter around easily dismissing something that to you, was momentary I hope more than anything this poem will one day cross your path I hope you finally realize that you’re not a victim, just a sociopath And I pray to God you feel just as broken in the aftermath
