My Little Hustle

YOU AND LONELY ME

You left me alone when I needed you,
You kept me away when you needed to be by my side.
You haven't spoken with me when I wanted you to,
You didn't understand me when you had to.

You betrayed your promises by going with others and leaving me behind,
You made my anger burst like a pricked balloon, yet there was no balloon in reach.
You missed the movies we decided to watch together in your apartment,
You weren't there when I needed your comforting hand on my head.

You didn't wait for my meal to finish when you should have,
You weren't there with me to count the stars,
You weren't there for our rides on long roads afar.

You didn't hold my hand while crossing the road when you had to,
You weren't there to protect me when you ought to.
You weren't there to build sandcastles by the shore,
Your shadow wasn't beside me under the streetlights.

You wove dreams into my heart and broke them with your silence,
You disrespected my feelings, which you should never have done.
You tested my patience for a long time, and indeed, I left you.
