The Ex

You set me up for failure 
Than ask me why I didn't do anything right
You said you'd love me forever 
Even though you left right in my sight 

You were my person
My strong suit 
You were just a heavy burden 
My life just ended up being a reboot

A reboot without your love
A reboot with another guy
Someone who shows me real love
When all you have left is to say good by

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.
