Listen!
I hardly pour my heart out.
I would rather keep my feelings to myself.
But you need to listen to me.
I love you.
You think I do not love you because you complain all the time about how I hardly care about you.
You want me to express my feelings all the time and it is one thing I hardly know how do to.
You nag and remind me about how you want me to do better in life.
But I love you in ways only I can express better.
I listen to you nag.
I stay loyal to you no matter what.
I sacrifice my happiness for you.
Most of the time I let you have your way even when I do not agree with you.
I am your shadow.
I watch everything that happens to you and try to keep you safe.
I do so much for you that I do not tell you.
I never brag about the things I do for you.
Most of the time, you gave the credits to others because you thought they did them.
Yet, I never complained nor tell you that I did them.
I do not claim what belongs to me.
It hurts.
I died a little each time you did that especially when you knew I did them and yet gave me no credit.
I earned for your approval so badly.
Sometimes I did things so you would compliment me.
I never wanted to disappoint you.
But you always found faults with me.
I have always wanted to walk away but anytime I got the strength to leave, a part of me convinced me to stay because you might change and things might get better with us.
I was clinging to that hope for so long and yet you never changed.
I am done waiting.
I can tolerant a lot of things but not betrayal.
I will forgive you after a long time but I will never forget.
I cannot have any relations with anyone that is willing to sell me out to another person for whatever price or privilege.
Loyalty is expensive.
If you cannot afford it, do not buy it then sell it cheaply to another.
I will never see you the same way again.
You are now dead to me.
Unfortunately I cannot stop loving you.
You loved me but I do not know whether you still do.
But it would be ironic if you actually did love me when you were betraying me.
How much were you paid?
Did you get anything at all from selling me out?
Are you satisfied?
I will never be the same again.
You had the best part of me.
The part of me that was innocent and loving.
It was willing to love without boundaries.
But I developed a new part when you killed the old one.
This is new part is filled with maturity and wisdom.
I know the signs and when I see it coming, I will be careful.
The best thing that I am taking with me is INDEPENDENCE.
You taught me to work hard and make my own.
I will never beg as long as I live because I know how to work to get what I want.
It was an honour and the biggest privilege of my life to have known you.
I can go places because of the doors you opened for me.
Now that is one thing I can never ever pay you back for.
For this reason, I will stay loyal to you even with my departure.
Bisous!
Loyalty is expensive?! Heck now I am scared…lol
Lovely piece. I feel your pain and passion, Mizpeh.
Brilliantly written. 😉
Thanks!
Yes loyalty is very expensive (figure of speech).
Loyalty is very important and crucial in every relationship.
If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans because most humans are not loyal. Nice piece, your getting deep with your words. 🙂
Thanks!
What you wrote is true.
