You walked out the door like I didn’t exist.
You said I’ll try but you didn’t even budge.
You lied I stayed.
You said you love me but you didn’t mean it.
You told me to trust you &amp; I did.

You hurt me for da last time. It’s time for you to hurt someone else. I’m done trying to improve myself for you. When you’re the one who needs to improve for me.

So now it’s time for you to make the choice of losing or keeping me.

I wrote this a day my father lied to me yet again. I cried constantly when he left & came back like he didnt lie to me. I was hurt & torn
