shame on you

1/3

for denying the truth

for playing like you ain’t love me

for being obtuse

for causing a scene

for saying things you ain’t mean

for being surface level

for laying with fleas

for being comfortable

for not demanding more

for being too afraid to explore

the emotions you chose to deplore

for being indecisive

when all you had to be was sure

for intentionally betraying me

when my love was pure

for being deceiving

when your lure was kindness

for two-timing me

and failing at hiding it

for letting her disrespect me

to maintain the image you painted

for being dishonest

because you are the one who’s tainted

for manipulating me

into thinking it was nothing to you

for ignoring that

it was everything to me

for choosing to protect her

while she hurts you

for knowing this

and hurting me anyway

for choosing comfort over integrity

for using me as your scapegoat

to avoid clarity

for betraying me

to keep the love of another

for disregarding me as a friend

when you’d already done so as a lover

for trying to keep it undercover…

shame on you…
