I Did, You Didn’t

Now you will, I won’t

I gave you all my time,

and you said,

‘I’m busy’.

I wore clothes of your choice and behaved as you liked,

and you said,

“Look at her clothes.”

or

“Behave more like her.”

I agreed with your thoughts and opinions,

and you said,

“Why can’t you be more yourself?”

I didn’t question your whereabouts,

and you said,

“Where are you going?”

“Who are you going with?”

“When will you be home?”

“What will you be wearing?”

There came a point when I finally understood,

I did everything I could to make it work,

But you didn’t leave me a choice but to question your behavior and the relationship’s worth.

Now that I have had enough,

You will understand your wrongs,

Because I won’t be there to say,

“You’re right.”

You will realize that relationships take two,

Because I won’t be there to prove,

“You matter more than I do.”

You will understand what it feels like to be ignored,

Because I won’t be there to ask,

“So, how was your day?”
