All those empty words and lies.

I tried.

I really tried.

Those wasted tears I cried.

I gave you chances time after time.

But after a long while I find everything you said to be a lie.

But I don't wish bad of you.

I pity you.

Because you destroy everything good.

You use your pain as a decoy.

Use people to fill in a empty place.

Then toss them aside.

Hiding from everything you feel.

You're unable to see fake from real.

Stealing moments at your own convenience.

Then you disappear.

You fear anything that makes you feel.

Pushing away happiness.

Unwilling to allow yourself to heal.

I promised I would always stay.

Always be a close friend.

But that should work both ways.

These days I see exactly who you are.

I know your pain.

The scars you carry.

But I also see that you don't really care.

So when I said I'll always be there.

I will be.

But with eyes wide open.

Because now I finally see the difference between you and I.

I give all of me to those I care for.

You use.

You close doors.

Leave then come back looking for more.

We have done this so many times before.

This time when you return.

You will find I learned who the real you is.

I finally see the you that you tried to hide.

The you that is left after all the happiness, hope, and love died.
