You can keep your fake apology
when you're screaming and acting tough.
If the whole point was to break me,
Then I guess I've finally had enough.
Do you ever get sick and tired
of apologizing to me?
Because I'm sick and tired of forgiving you
for the things nobody sees.
But you say that I'm perfection...
You love me. Don't I know?
But why do you only say those words
when I start to let you go?
Life is wonderful and perfect
when I'm doing everything right.
As long as I keep my mouth shut
and remain a pretty sight.
Be quiet. Just submit.
You love me. It's true.
How nice it must be to have me
always there for you.
When all that's left for me
are the broken pieces and the scraps...
begging you to just respect me...
Maybe.. one day.. in the future. Perhaps...
when I learn to keep my mouth shut
and do all you tell me to do.
When I allow you to manipulate me
just because I fell for you.
I accept a lot.
I'm a fucking ocean filled with hope.
But I don't accept your apology.
Not this time. Nope.
I gave it all I had.
I kept fighting till the end.
I treated you like royalty.
You couldn't even treat me like a friend.
So, you can keep your damn apology.
I think it's time for me to go.
I still wish you all the best.
Not with me though.

I love Ugly Things.
I try and be active AND interactive.
I write... whatever I feel.
Sometimes it's happy.. sometimes it isn't. But it's real. And it's me.
