I deserve better. I deserve better than half eaten words, Casual, passive glances when I enter the room. I deserve more. I deserve more than your lack of love, Your empty words; the way your eyes look Away when you utter those words through Licked lips. Wetted to prep for the lies. I deserve me. I deserve me, and no one else. Only I can love me like I've never been loved before. So here I am. I'm doing just that. I never said I needed you, Just that I loved you. No one really means what they say In the heat of the moment. So, I deserve better. I am better. lmt
