You still left me. I did everything to please you. Everything was for you. I took the extra time on my makeup so it was flawless in your presence. An extra half hour of killing and taming my hair so it Looked like beauty queen material Just to hear you call me beautiful And look at me the way you did when You really felt good to be around me. Several occasions, if you recall, I brought your favorite foods to you when you worked. Just to see your face light up and So you knew I would do anything to give you What you wanted. I don't remember a second I didn't spend Thinking what more I could do for you. I took three too many steps Out of my comfort zone Just to please you. To give you what you wanted. Even in my state of uncomfort, I knew you still didn't care about my Feelings. Truly care, anyways. And all this time.. All this time of my extra efforts and going so far, far out of my way You were still too selfish To see past your small green eyes of confinement. And I hope one day You regret letting me leave. You see how good I was to you. Giving you the world and then some. You were just too oblivious To see what was good for you. You let it go. You let me go. You kept wanting more and more. And I didn't know what else could be done. And I'm still sorry for not being able To give you everything you Wanted. I hope one day you can Feel the pain you Put me through.
