Crave me
when it’s convenient
I was a bit lenient
Disguised it as going steady
But you weren’t ready
Supposed to be a good time
But some days I would cry
Brutally picked at my brain
Almost convinced me
I was insane
Treated me so small
Claimed it was all my fault
Took responsibility
for things I didn’t do
Hoping I could
stay with you
Should’ve realized
this wasn’t my happy place
Only occasionally
it felt a safe space
Awfully inconsistent
Yet made yourself
the victim
Couldn’t even do
the bare minimum
So much disrespect,
What’s so hard
about giving context?
Perhaps you see me
as less
Only wanted to be
a good friend to you
A good partner for you
Bundled my affection
Give me your attention
Quick to leave me in the dirt
Did I forget my worth?
I try not to sink,
I’m amazing
I think
Didn’t listen to my friends
Warned it was a cycle
that never ends
Maybe I’m lucky
I’m sure I’m one
of many
When you get lonely
Don’t act like you own me
You’ve gotten bolder
But I won’t be
your placeholder
I truly wish you
the best
Hope you grow up
for the next
