Why am I the one crying over you?
All these red flags, seen but ignored.
Put all these unrealistic expectations on you,
You never asked for that.
They were all my wishes.
I placed you on a pedestal,
Everything you touched turned to gold; King Midas.
I made you out of ivory and clay and wished till you came true;
Pygmalion and Galatea.
I didn't accept all of your flaws
I pushed them away and tied my issues onto you.
Yes i see that now
I'm a narcissistic tyrant and a hypocrite.
"How can you love yourself if I don't love you" I thought.
Toxicity.
And I see it now.
I know...
It's too late to fix any of this
But you sit on my conscience everyday.
Towns all belong to you in my head.
I'm sorry...
-Your Ex
