I felt safe with you,
and you made me doubt it.
You knew how to make me laugh,
then gave me reasons to cry.
I respected you so much,
you threw that respect away like it meant nothing.
I loved how driven you were,
but you drove us apart with every selfish choice.
I trusted your judgment,
until you judged me wrong and called it truth.
I appreciated everything,
you only noticed once I was gone and the silence got loud.
You were my favorite person,
now you're just a memory I scroll past.
You made me feel at peace,
then left me with storms I had to weather alone.
I loved your mind,
but your heart was nowhere to be found when I needed it most.
You made everything better,
until you made everything worse without warning.
You were different,
until you chose to be like the rest and broke all your promises.
I admired how you handled things,
until you mishandled me and called it growth.
You were a good man,
you just forgot how to be good to me.
You were the best decision I ever made,
and the biggest mistake you ever lost.
I loved the way you think,
but hated the way you treated me when no one was watching.
I believed in you,
when you couldn't even believe in us.
You inspired me to dream bigger,
then you expired us with your carelessness.
I was proud of you,
now I'm proud I survived you,
and proud that I’m learning to choose myself.
