Giving Up on You

I'm giving up because
Sometimes I need to distance myself
From people
That's how you find out who cares
If they notice, they care
If they don't
You know where you stand in their life
So I'm giving up on you
I guess it's time I've waited long enough
It's not because I don't love you
It's because I'm tired of getting hurt
It feels like you'll never care about me
One thing I've learned from you is that
Some people will hurt you
And act as if you hurt them
And you know what? They don't care about you
Or the agony they put you through
They don't give a fuck
People just like you
You made me sad, damaged, miserable and
Adrift in the darkness
For what.....for nothing
Because of what you did no
I feel like people don't want me
And just for once, I want someone in my life
Who's afraid to lose me
I'm always the one who's afraid to lose people
That I hold close in my life
But I doubt anyone would ever
Fight to keep me in their lives
I'm sorry for becoming the monster
You created
But why...Why should I apologize
For the beast that I've become
You didn't apologize for making me this way
I'm so done; I've wasted enough tears
For people who don't care
Honestly, one of the most complex decisions of
My life at the moment was
Deciding to walk away or put more effort in
So I'm done
I'm giving up on you
