I waited
Through the stormy weather
I waited
as the grass grew and became greener
You can't argue with that,
I did wait.

You wanted
a rug to wipe your shoes
You wanted
A punching bag
You wanted
Unconditional obedience.
All those things you wanted I will never be.

I loved.
You with all my heart
You never
Showed me you cared.
I loved.
Even though it broke my heart
You never
Held me when I needed you.
I loved.
Being the girl you had.
You never
Called me your own.
