drained
my glass was half full until you spoke
of humiliating words in hopes i choke
you enjoy to see me unsuccessful
but all i want for you is a glass so full
you drained me.
your disparagement humor did create
insecurities i never knew of.. to hate
you pour my glass out little by little until your glass is somehow overflowing
you drained me.
i thought we brought eachother up.
i thought you provided water in my cup
all along u wanted nothing than to see me drown.
in the water i had left, yet is now nowhere to be found.
you drained me. of all the confidence i once had
because you enjoy feeling superior to make yourself feel less bad.
you drained me.
it’s not my fault your so insecure
so don’t project your self doubt onto someone who can give no cure
for your internal issues.
you drained me.
you took advantage of my patient, sympathetic, and unselfish heart
because you know i would never treat you the same way you did me.
you thought u we’re so smart
you drained me.
i never spoke up
because i thought it was just a bad day
until your cruelness became your only way
to consolidate your own feelings
of solitude and self-loathing
you drained me.
“no one understands me the way you do. i hate everyone but you”
oh but you loathe any happiness i have
so that can’t be true
you drained me.
it’s not my fault you are so insecure
so don’t drain me because you aren’t who you wish you were.
you drained me.
when your cup needed to be refilled
i gave you an entire fountain
but when my cup was tipped over,
you kicked it out of reach
you watched as the water slowly sank into a bottomless pit
you enjoyed watching me fail.
so you didn’t do anything to stop it
you drained me.
