@layschips1 I know you never read my poetry anymore, but I promise I'm not stealing this poem from you or anything, just the title fits the situation. XD

you need me but i don't need you

it's always been that way, nothing's changed

we fight, i leave you

and you beg me to come back

because you miss me

and no one else bothers to care about you

or we fight, you leave

and then you beg me to let you in

because you miss me

and no one else bothers to care about you


honestly darling,

you take me for granted

because in case you haven't noticed

i've let you walk all over me

because instead of telling you

"no, you can't come back

you're a leech, you're a nuisance, you're a little girl

who has no business here"

i let you come back

because i'm a little kinder towards unfortunate people

like yourself


when i said you hurt me with your words sometimes

i didn't mean all the time, most of the time i couldn't care less

about what you say

what hurts me is your apologies

because i know that i'll end up saying,

"okay i forgive you"

instead of saying

"okay, i'm done"


you need me

but i don't need you

keep that in mind, please
