Don’t @ me

I was flying so free

I thought I had found a love made for me

Soaring high through the clouds

I felt the warmth of the sun in me

I spread my wings as far as they could reach

The story of Icarus should have been my first warning

The sun burned my wings and sent me plummeting

The love that I felt became my enemy while my lover pressed the drain button on my battery

But he called it love

And the nights became so lonely

What was once attention became ignoring

And I swear I’m not crazy but you were empty before me

But you called it love

I needed a love that was deep

I begged and pleaded with myself please don’t leave

Until there was nothing left of Li

I was Liora before you trapped me

Stripped me of my light

So you could take me

A hostage of love is what I would be

And how could I not see?

That I was really just dying slowly

Now I’m mad and sad and glad

It’s a trip

How I could give so much and end up with this

Bruised heart that’s been stepped on and torn apart

Abuse isn’t love it’s a manipulative art

And I was never perfect

I never claimed to be

The love that I sent out unconditionally was never returned to me

I shall carry that lesson everywhere I go

Taking care to avoid empty souls

My soul is vast and beautiful and deep

And on my own I am whole, complete

I tried my best to carry everything

But a partnership should be 50/50

I was always glad to give but with nothing in return

The life in me slowly started to burn

It was always my fault I’d never be enough for you

But when will you start that long journey into yourself boo?

Don’t @ me.
