*Featured in the truth you took away

as i sit here, tears welling in my eyes,
i still don’t know what i did to deserve this.
i was kind, humble, caring, loving, and patient.
i remained loyal even in times you didn’t deserve.
in the midst of your silence i worried only for you.
i put you first.

you said that you were sorry but you never said how much.
you said that you cared about me but that will never be enough.
if you cared you would’ve tried harder
and realized that i deserved better
than a message that wasn’t coming directly from you.

i thought i meant as much to you as you led me to believe.
but if i did, you would have never lied to me.
if i did

you would have never taken
my truth away from me.
