Done. Over and Out.

It really is true about what they say about nice guys,

Because I’m tired of being the one that always tries,

I’m always the one making the effort and giving my time,

Dropping my plans at the drop of a dime,

Just to invest all of that time into you,

But when it’s time to reciprocate what do you do,

Make it about you or just ignore me flat out,

But when you need that attention you give me a shout,

And like a fool I just kept going back,

And listened to your excuses and gave you a lot of slack,

I’m a patient and understanding person,

I give you that space but you cause things to worsen,

I gave you my warmth to help you get by,

When I need that warmth back you create an alibi,

Why am I honest when I see you being fake,

Why do I give when all you do is take,

I don’t deserve to be taken for granted and then tossed to the side,

These emotional ups and downs have killed me inside,

I’m done looking for love because I think it is dead,

I’m tired of blaming myself and being gaslit that it’s my fault instead,

I’m over in excusing your toxic personality traits,

I’ve given up on the theory that we share intertwined fates,

I’m tired of opening up to someone like I have in the past,

You aren’t the first but you are definitely the last.
