Why do I choose

by ImTheGirl   May 6, 2019


I’m starting to feel manipulated
No, I’ve felt this way for a while
I’ve chose to ignore it too many times
What’s wrong with me, that’s not my style

Why do I choose to be ignored
And then come at a beckoning call
Why do I choose to receive nothing from you
But then turn around and give you my all

Why do I choose to get my feelings hurt
Day after day after day
I hear from you, then I don’t
There’s no black and white, only gray

Why do I want you so badly
Almost at any cost
Why can’t I just be done with this
And except that this is a love lost

But the truth is, it wasn’t love at all
It was lust dressed up in disguise
It was dressed in it’s Sunday best
And it came with a lot of lies

So…why do I choose to be lied to
Why do I choose to not have a choice
Why do I choose to be everything for you
When did I lose my voice

    A poignant piece. Some people are particularly good at manipulating others and playing mind games. It is a sign of disrespect and lack of compassion for someone to treat another so badly. You deserve so much better than this and dont need to put up with it. One day you will find someone who really loves you who will make you happy. Sending you a warm hug and best wishes Milly x
