Waste
You were a waste of my sight
Every eyelid flutter
would bring your image
I mistakenly compared so closely to perfection
You were a waste of my breath
Every "I love you" spoken
weighs on my tongue
like a treacherous burden
You were a waste of my heart
Too many times you would make it wither
and be less whole
with each coming day
You were a waste of my tears
So many times I wept
for you
and how you treated me
You were a waste of my honesty
I always let you know my evil truths
just to be maliciously deceived
by your neverending lies
You were a waste of my suffering
You made me feel
pain
I never thought I could endure
But through all the suffering I discovered
Completely, undeniably, and irreversibly
You were a waste of my time
