You say you don’t deserve me, and
That I deserve much more:
But yet it’s only you I’ve ever wanted.
And so it is your fault, but it is
Me that’s out the door.
I must admit it – for all of your vaunted
Honesty, I have to say, that I am not convinced.
Except for one thing:
That you don’t want me.
So write me off, unable to stem your dissatisfaction:
Condemn the man you say
You’re setting free
Thanks for writing this in response to my post. It’s good to read a different perspective. Tho this really hit me to the core. 😔
“You deserve better.” I know it all too well. I like your nuanced take on the various feelings that get triggered.
Most of us have heard it or said it or (like me) done both.
