Lies and Ignorance

If you don’t love me enough

To say, “I’m sorry,”

Then you never truly loved me at all

And it was all lies.

If you’re too proud, in your ignorance,

To say, “I was wrong”

Then I’ve wasted too much of my time already

On this relationship.

I give too much

To be treated with disrespect.

I love too deeply

For it not to be reciprocated.

I will not lie,

And say I do not love you,

But honey, I love me more,

And I don’t let anyone run over me

Or treat me less than I deserve.

I never have

And won't start now.
