You Say

You say you miss me, but I don’t miss you.

By LynnePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

You say that you miss me

Your actions caused the outcome

Your words prompted the leave

Your lack of being able to be trusted sealed the deal

You say you miss me

You spewed lies over the internet

You tried to destroy my character

You said that I would be nothing without you

You say you miss me

Your “I’m sorry”’s never meant a thing

Your actions never changed

You’re always in denial

You say you miss me

You’re the victim

You’re the one whos hurt

You’re the one wanting to turn back time

Yet

I don’t miss you

You’re not the victim

You’re not an angel

but you're always the good guy, right?

I don’t miss you

You made me want to leave my two younger siblings behind

You made me believe I was worthless

You made me believe I couldn't do it without you

I don’t miss you

I’m happy

I’m thriving

But you always said I needed you and you needed me, right?

I don’t miss you

You rarely ever cross my mind

I still get updates about you

I wish that I didn’t

I don’t miss you

Yet

You miss me

And how funny is it, that you always sat us on the wrong sides of the table?
