The Manipulator

You want to keep me by your side to be used like a dirty rag. Is that all I'm worth, I am more. You couldn't love me, yet you desire me, but your heart belongs to another one. Any time I leave, you cry as if you lost your heart, just to lure me back, but you never tried to change your manipulative ways. Your tears meant nothing to me now, No,not anymore. My heart is dead to your tears. You are nothing to me now. Can't go back to the place where my heart ran from. No one is allowed to clean their dirty feet on my back. I moved on now with my dignity, for that's all I have, my dignity. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.
