What You Were
You were my rock,
My solid place to land.
Or so I thought.
You were never really there,
You ignored all my issues,
You never truly cared.
And, as wrong as it may seem,
You pushed me toward him,
And him toward me.
I suppose I should thank you,
For showing me what's real,
Though you hid your truths.
You lied and deceived me,
But, that's alright now.
I had my share of deceit.
Eighteen months were spent,
And only ten well-lived.
Then, the love went dead.
But, I'm not bitter or sad,
because I've moved on now.
There's better times to be had.
