You made me believe you wanted me.
You made me believe we were meant to be.
You made me feel heard and seen.
You made me feel like I could be relieved.
But that’s not what you wanted to happen right?
You just wanted my attention.
You just wanted my company.
You just wanted to feel loved.
And I gave you what you wanted and more.
I gave you everything you craved without hesitation.
I gave you validation.

You had to choose who you wanted more.
But you chose her.
Leaving me wondering why I wasn’t good enough.
Was everything you said to me a lie?
Did you really like me as much as you said?
Did you really mean every single compliment you’ve said to me?
Or was it all a lie?
