It's a shame

three years of vulnerability, spit back in my face

years of insincerity, uncovered in minutes

It's a loss

time spent building bridges, made with a poor foundation

time wasted listening to you, losing respect for conversation

Balance is unachievable

when you refuse to put LOVE on the scale

Lessons worth learning, but not worth sacrificing every ounce of my identity

Once a seed of negativity is planted, the roots dig in immediately

and cannot be weeded out

you hit me with the lowest blows

at the most disrespectful levels

with the least amount of sensitivity

and now we wait in limbo

to figure out what this relationship is...or isn't
