after years of false hope dangling karats of fool’s gold in my face for years after years after years feeding into my fears of failure without you by my side weariness set in evolving into bitterness cementing itself as hatred which is an emotion i never thought i could harbor towards you an emotion i never would have envisioned existing between us disconnection is the only resolution did you ever love me? did you ever value my presence? or did you just anticipate the presents i gave without a thought of hesitation new vision has been bestowed upon me no longer will i contribute to my own sadness no longer will i entertain your madness
