The Ugly Truth

I craved your caress

As if you were not the very toxic entity in my life

I knew I needed to dispose of

Your very presence was poisonous to me

Yet I let this go on as if addictions were acceptable

So I uttered the only words

I knew would make you go

“I do not love you anymore”

And then I watched you leave

I longed for your return

As if I did not slam the door behind you when you left

Keeping my ear to the door

Praying you did not walk away

I gave you every reason to leave

Secretly hoping you would still stay

Just because you know someone is bad for you

It doesn’t make you want them any less

I’m sorry that I lied to you

I do love you

But I can’t love you anymore
