Priority or option

by Jay Colon   Sep 17, 2015


We all know as humans
all addicted to love
we want to be a priority
not an option

if someone is into you
they'll make the effort
they'll make time
they even call you just to say hi

so I did a test
I wanted to see which one was I
was I a priority
was I an option

I become distant
I was curious
would you notice?
if not, I knew where I stand

even though deep down inside I knew
I was in denial
I wanted you

the truth came to light

the painful truth
who you really are
claim to have good intentions
you were simply no good

you said you love me
yet your lies drew us further apart
you said you're sorry
yet your apology lacks sincerity

in todays generation
with social media
even emails, texting, and Skype
just to stay in touch

yet you tell me
you're too busy

i tell you im tired of you neglecting me
putting me on back burner
so again I test you
I give you an ultimatum

Me or nothing at all

to see if you really loved me
if I was the apple of your eye
like most people in love

you refuse to choose
without you realizing
you already made up your mind
you decided nothing at all

so as painful as that was
I stopped being naive
I was an option all along

so I turned my back
i left quietly
never to return
I am my own priority

I have nothing to lose
