The Actual Ugly Truth

June 11th, 2025

I’m finally opening my eyes
And letting myself embrace the validity
I filled my head with excuses you’d never give
You’ve probably laughed at my stupidity
I gave you endless patience
That you had never earned
And I abandoned all the things
That I knew I really deserved
Someone who actually wanted me
Wouldn’t leave me in this confusion
And I can’t even blame you
When I’m the one who built the illusion
You told me time and time again
Through your actions and your words
You’re “just not that interested”
I’m not what you’re moving towards
So I’m sorry I never listened
And I’m sorry for being clueless
But I need to apologize to myself
For waiting for you to choose this

Personal Note: Off subject, but I just wanted to share a small moment for my brother TJ, who passed away on this day four years ago (12/15/2021). I hope you’re resting in peace.

Between The Lines

July 14th, 2023

I think I could have loved you
I think I got so close
But I think you forgot to tell me
Details that were never disclosed
You posted in April
About going through a breakup
And when I asked about it
Excuses were made up
I chose to see what I wanted
But the truth is there somewhere
Your divorce seemed sooner than you let on
Was this a rebound love affair?
The post was deleted
Seeds of doubt in my mind
In the past I ignored red flags
But I’m not blind
I need to do
What is best for me
I told you the truth
I don’t think we’d be happy
One night I’m sleeping
Sound in your shirt
Then the next I’m in bed
Knowing you think I’m the worst
