more than u

it’s going to hurt me more than you

when it’s time to let you go

i gave you chance after chance

and you remained the same…

it’s like you refused to grow

i was never to blame

for the amount of games you’ve played

nor the mountain of shame

you’ve brought onto yourself

settling for someone who’s okay

with disrespecting you

and allowing you

to disrespect yourself

maybe this is what you’ve earned

for not telling the truth on yourself

your issues go beyond

your failure to release me emotionally

you’ve allowed that peon of a woman

feel like she has the right to “trouble” me

to cover up

what you’re really troubling over…

using me as a shield

to avoid closure

you knew that shit was over

when you started over

you were insane

to “go back”

i was insane

to let you back in

i just couldn’t pretend

that i didn’t love you

but because i do

i have to let you go

it’s going to hurt me

more than it hurts you

and i wanted you to know…
