You were such a selfish lover. You demanded that I give you time and I stopped the clock for you. You asked for my dreams and I got lost in sleep for you. You told me to speak less and I sewed my lips shut for you. You said I should try harder and I broke sweat for you. I gave my back as bridge, my knees bruised, my throat sore, my hands ****** from all the demons you had me slaughter for you. I gave you everything and you left me, claiming it wasn't enough.
