My only hope

I tried to write this on paper,

but it felt like too much effort and time

wasted

for someone who didn't think i deserved

10 minutes of their time for a last conversation.

I tried making up excuses for what you did to me,

but frankly,

I was just lying to myself.

I fought with everyone around me,

trying to defend your name.

I tried and tried

too many times.

I'm letting you go now,

I wish i could say i hope she makes you happy

but

My only hope is that one day,

You'll regret what you did to me.
