Rights and Wrongs
You never bothered to learn anything about me
You never bothered to ask how I am
You never let me console you when you were sad
You never wanted to learn who I truly am
All you got was the surface layer of me
You didn't ask what my favourite things were
While I could name all of yours in a heart beat
I tried to make things better
I tried to learn how you work
But as soon as things changed
And it was no longer about you
It was too much and you left
You made me hate myself
So much I wanted to change for you
Not for me
I cry not because you're gone
I cry because I let you do this to me
I used to count the seconds
until you woke up
Then I could share my day with you
Start yours with me
End mine with you
Maybe it was too much
Maybe it wasn't enough
Or maybe it was all wrong
Even if it felt so right
