You said it was okay!

  You twisted the vines of my truth, turned them into lies!

  You said you wanted us to be friends

  You took me for granted; this is your demise!

  You pulled the rope to instigate

  When I pulled back, I was left to blame

  You became jealous

  You spit words I wanted to hear

  with an emptiness, I couldn't feel

  You never wanted to see your reflection

  but over time, I could see

  You have double standards

  You thought you could control me;

  You had no idea what I could become

  I've been through this round before

  You had a two-faced mask you couldn't hide

  You played this like a game

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  I had no idea I was playing, no idea how to win

  You yelled when you could have whispered

  You treated me one way,

  switched to another

  when crowds gathered

  The line I cast to catch communication

  You wouldn't grab or acknowledge

  I thought this was real and true

  You only wanted to play and use

  You stowed me away and tried to silence me

  when I needed to be free

  You got angry and jealous when I sought attention elsewhere

  I thought you truly cared

  It was just another tactic;

  only now do I understand

  You had no idea what I had already fought

  I still loved

  because your mask was

  painted slightly different

  You attempted to make your demons mine

  I thought we were worth fighting for

  Turns out your love was already abandoned

  Call me ignorant, call me stupid, but know

  My love was real; everything authentic!!

  You were fake and never true

  Now the loss is yours

  I desire it to devour you; every bite feel severe

  I do not say this with malice

  When you feel the ache,

  know that I'll be better than when I was with you

  My only justice!!!
