  • She sits there in the corner of her room,
    feeling exhausted, stressed, and all alone.
    Waiting patiently for him to approach her first,
    she does what she can to not look at her phone.

    She wants to watch a movie, maybe play a game,
    or just chat about their day. It really doesn't matter.
    She just wants to spend some time together,
    though she'd probably prefer the latter.

    Hours go by and still he's too busy for her
    It's getting rather late, and almost time for bed,
    yet still he's too preoccupied with his own shit.
    Other than food, games and sleep, wtf else is in his head?

    It pains me to watch her do this to herself,
    for she holds onto a blade that makes her bleed.
    Let go of it, I beg her, it's not worth it-- 
    he is not something that you need.

    But I really like him, she starts to protest
    Yes, but that won't keep your relationship going.
    He's a really sweet and nice guy though!
    So what? His feelings aren't even showing.

    Tell me darling, when was the last time
    he initiated a conversation with you?
    Does he ever call to ask about your day
    or want to know if you're feeling happy or blue? 

    Do you enjoy being treated like a trophy? 
    Cause he only worked hard to get you back, 
    and once you agreed to start dating again,
    his efforts, did they not begin to lack?

    Besides, I added, you've told him again and again
    to stop taking you for granted, to show you he cares.
    Only then he comes back with minimal effort
    but the next day again, he's not going to be there. 

    I'm sorry, dear, and I know I'm being blunt,
    but sadly, the truth ain't pretty, and it is what it is.
    I know, you're right, she replies weakly with a sigh.
    Perhaps I should really consider no longer being his.
