I was left waiting for a reply,
But it never arrived, no matter how I tried.I longed for words of affirmation,
Only to realize it was a delusion.I hoped for reciprocity,
But it turned out to be a comicality.Could it get any crazier than this,
Caught in a web of unfulfilled bliss?You enticed me with your charming words,
And I naively believed you were my world,
My knight in shining armor, my guiding light,
Yet the truth revealed itself with time's insight.I poured my love into you relentlessly,
Endlessly praising your worth, so fervently.The habit of exalting you grew too strong,
Blinding me to the fact that I also belong.Once again, I became overly attached,
While you reveled in changing and mismatched.You waited patiently until I stumbled and fell,
Only then realizing there was no one to catch, no one to dispel.
How amusing it must have been for you to deceive,
To trap a fly by calling it a butterfly, I now perceive.I should have known a lover reveals their muse,
While those who lack love make excuses to use.If even the tiniest love from you had shown,
I wouldn't be the one constantly reaching out alone.
Months passed, waiting for your reply,
I wouldn't have been the sole one making time fly.I should have recognized you weren't my gentle dove,
But rather someone devoid of love.In the absence of emotion, I thought I kept it healing,
But the truth remains, it was merely concealing.-little menace
