Balloon love

Feeling deflated

So unmotivated

The happiness you brought

Filled me to the top

How was I to know

That soon it would pop?

They say pain

Changes a person

Well i don’t think I’ll ever be the same

I could easily point the blame

No simple solution

When your stuck on excuses

I don’t want a justification

Your actions have ramifications

If looking into my lost eyes

Isn’t enough of a consequence

Then you have no conscious

I’ll always look at you as heartless

There’s no rest for the restless

Expecting selflessness from Me

After showing just how

Selfish you can be

Did you ever really love me

Or was my sole purpose in

Your life to prevent loneliness

Someone to provide comfort

When times were tough

An object of affection

Nothing more nothing less

I doubt your mind can even

Begin to understand

What I’m feeling

Betrayed by the one

Who was supposed to love me

I expected you to protect me

From a broken heart

Yet you’ve done the opposite

I blindly trusted you

Let down my walls so I could

Feel even closer to you

I offered nothing but pure genuineness

Proving that loyalty exists

Supporting you at your worse

Accepting all your shortcomings

Never looking at you as anything

Less then perfection

The most precious thing

In my life completely abandoned me

When I needed you the most

You chose to destroy me

Was the connection

We had just pure deception

How can you continue

To be in my presence

Knowing that everything

You claimed to stand by

Was mere words nothing more

Your actions have spoken

Volumes to me

You never appreciated

Anything I ever did for you

When it came down to it

How I would feel meant nothing

Your pleasure at the expense of me

In my eyes your the worst kind

You’ll never get the same respect

Nor will I take you seriously again

Your just another boy

Pretending to be a man
