FINALITY

I wish you would stop these mindless games

Drawing me in only to push me away

So many chances given

Thrown back in my face

Time and time again

I believed in you when others didn’t

I confided in you

I had hopes

That you were still the person you used to be

Only to experience the painful sting of betrayal

And for what?

Why do I even fucking care?

Your greed and apathy sicken my soul

As the words spill from my mind

I realize

I’m done with this bullshit

This act

The false pretenses that comprise my day

As I try to be the better person

And pretend I care

About you

And your well-being

When

All I really wish

Is slowly burning in my thoughts

Yet never

Spoken
