you used to tell me all the time
that a man would only change
for one woman in his life
but then you always told me
that for you, that woman was me
why then did i have to beg you
to respect the boundaries id set
why when i tried to communicate
did I become the problem
why was it to much to ask
for you to stop doing things that
i told you made me uncomfortable
why was i the asshole
for setting boundaries
in the first place
why did you tell all your friends
and all of your family
that I manipulated you
why did you tell people you thought
i was cheating on you
i saw your story today
where your making a change
i asked you to make a million times
that tells me a few things
things like
your making this change for someone
that someone isn't me
i was never the one you'd change for
you didn't respect me or my boundaries
anything i asked you to do was to much
who are you making these changes for
and why couldn't you make them for me
did i really treat you so badly?
was our whole relationship a lie?
was it ever worth it to begin with?
how did we spend two years together
and i never realized how little
you truly respected me?
i thought we were endgame
i thought i was the love of your life
i thought i was gonna marry you
i thought we'd get a place together
i thought we'd have kids together
i was wrong...wasn't I..?
