I made you believe in things,
though you thought they would last forever.
I brought you happiness,
though you didn't always want it.
I let you see the best in people,
though they eventually showed you their true colors.
I kept you comforted on those dark days,
though you wanted me to leave.
You thought I wanted to hurt you,
though I only had best intentions.
You dreamt of princesses and princes,
though I couldn't give you that happily ever after.
You cursed me when things didn't go according to plan,
though I believe it taught you a valuable lesson.
You believe you've found the one,
though I know... you have five more to go.
Safe and warm,
I raised you to take in those that meant good.
Gentle and pure,
I protected you for so long from those meaning harm.
My job is finished.
You broke my rules.
You blame me for what's been done.
I tried to tell you to be cautious.
You never listened.
You're on your own.
May you succeed without my help.
May you feel a thousand heartbreaks before you do.
I am a dangerous game.
One you don't know how to play.
