Weak-willed and minded, you kept me down but at the time I didn't mind it.
You loved me just enough to keep me in my place, but it was never enough to keep you out of the chase.
I was always wrong, and you were always right.
But your right was wrong without an apology in sight.
You took everything I had for granted without so much as a second thought.
Then had the nerve to plead with me when you got caught.
I thought you were my security blanket but instead I was one to you.
You're like a black hole, you wouldn't let my light shine through.
That's what scared you the most, my light outshining you.
Jealousy is an ugly trait, but it fits you.
I am not afraid to shine or glow anymore.
You lost that hold over me when I closed that door.
