Brutal feedback please. Is it cringey? What lines, words can i remove/replace? Any help would be appreciated
I made a comprehensive cons list
I write all the rotten things you ever told me.
Reading it helps me ball up my fist
Wondering how I ever let you hold me
Its easy to blame you for everything last year
To say “thank god I’m out”
Oh how I abhor you when I tell anyone willing to hear
of our every verbal bout.
But to make a pros list, I don’t dare
As I feel Truth slowly lurk
To convince myself, I can’t bear
That we loved each other but still could not work
So I cheat on Truth with that list
And every night I sleep with a smile
Hoping tomorrow you won’t be missed
Hoping I won’t see you for a while
But the sunlight comes and the list has gone
He snuck out some time last night
What’s left behind is truth mid-yawn
Standing next to my dresser upright
Oh how I hate every morning
How I hate waking up not next to you
So I try to kill our memories aborning
By reading the list that does misconstrue
But last night I caught Truth’s reflection
As I gaily walked down Ignorance Street
Then I saw him at the Acceptance and Feelings intersection
When will truth fucking leave?
