Look at my actions, see what I’ve done,
How I wasted my life just for your fun.
A laughable man, a pathetic shadow,
One blade of grass in your vast meadow.

To let you shine, I refused to bloom,
On my own life, I cast certain doom.
Love and loyalty, that’s all I sought,
You said you cared and needed space, I thought.

You kept me close, my fire still burned,
Then you left, became cold, I never turned.
I should’ve known you weren’t my fate,
But that truth arrived far too late.

Now I see clearly, finally free,
You were never really interested in me.
My feelings were toys you’d break to feel whole,
Just to ease the ache inside your soul.

I won’t stop loving, I’ll always care,
But I can’t stay trapped in your snare.
No longer a tool for your selfish need,
You’ll never love me back, now I’m freed.

Enough years waiting, now I’m done,
If you want me back, I’ll be gone.
Enough tears spilled in a cold bed,
I’m no longer the heart you shred.
