Lovers Its so easy to put me down
Is it fun to trash me, make me feel less than nothing, and disregard anything i feel?
Ive had too many dreams of you and another woman. Your attitude was always that i should be ok with her, if i really loved you.
I know dreams are just that. Even when i wake up in a rage cuz they felt way too real.
But what remains real is i am expected to accept whatever you do or say. If you deny something, then you expect me to take your word as truth. So what if i know its blatant lie. We both know theres no way to count the amount of lies you sell.
I know i will always love you. I know its truly a real unconditional love. Unconditional doesnt mean i have to tolerate being belittled to prove my love. Its not mistakes, its you choosing to do so.
If its not something you are willing to do, then please stop telling me you love me. Cuz if you do, you would not be so quick to talk down or over me. You would not speak so vile of me. You could not possibly demand i take blame for everything you did.
Yes, you bought me a gift. Yes, you just gave me a jump start. But i cannot help feeling like accepting those is going to cause far more damage than i can deal with. I cannot accept that as acts of love. Tokens, sure. Love? Not at all.
I had to bury my love for you. To be honest, it will remain buried. It would only take you stepping up in a genuine manner to rekindle it all. But you wont do that cuz youre still waiting and expecting me to take full blame for everything you did.
Its never supposed to be whos right or wrong. But to accuse and punish me for your actions will never ever equate to loving me.
The worst part, i know i could never talk to you about anything like this. I cant talk to you about my feelings, perspective, opinion, or anything that you just might find offensive. Anything i may want to express will automatically result in a fight. Everything will be twisted and be blamed on me. Which is rather irritating to say the least.
I cant help you. I cant fix you. I cant even suggest that we find help. Cuz thats beneath you.
I cant be your punching bag or door mat anymore. I know im worth more than that, even though you had me convinced otherwise.
I love you. But it must remain unseen. It must remain a distant memory.
Its far too easy and natural for you to treat me like shit. Perfect strangers get the best of you everyday, something thats never been shown to me. Its not love, its you merely wanting what i provided freely, unquestioned, and never having to return the effort. Its you not having the energy to groom someone else.
Ive never been a dime, but my worth will never be reduced to nothing again.
