You took my love for granted, like a fleeting scar.
You thought me blind, with shallow thoughts of me,
Leaving me in the dark, where shadows dance with glee.
You gaslighted me, with words that cut like a knife,
Ghosting me, leaving me to suffer, without a lifeline.
Excuses, always excuses, never owning up to the pain,
Taking advantage of my vulnerabilities, like a heartless game.
Lies, oh so many lies, a web of deceit and shame,
Yet I tolerated it all, playing the fool, bearing the blame.
But I knew, my love, I knew it all along,
The truth hidden behind your eyes, the love that didn’t belong.
You treated me like an option, a convenience, a mere thrill,
But I am far too good, far too worthy, to be treated so still.
My love, my heart, my shining star, I deserve so much more,
Than the scraps of love you offered, the crumbs that you ignored.
So let this be the end, the final goodbye,
For I am done, my love, done with the tears, the lies, the sighs.
I’ll rise above, I’ll shine so bright,
And you, my love, will be left in the darkness of night.
