Forsaken

alone

around the one

who claims to love me most

nothing left to give

but needed nonetheless

running on empty

noticed

I can’t provide 

what he desires

yet it is expected 

disguised as care

camouflaged as concern

feigned as love

alone

around the one 

who claims to love me most

he doesn’t

Immobile

expected to change
you’re stagnant

expected to grow
you’re still

expected to love
you’re indifferent

expected to respect
you’re coarse

expected to be honest
you lie

expected to trust
you’re deceptive 

expected to stay
i'm gone.
