Can Dish It But Can't Take It

You say you didn't want to hurt someone you love
Funny how that's exactly what you've done
Dismissed my feelings when I spilled my heart and soul
Didn't care about my state so raw and vulnerable
Was time to acknowledge the truth, I had to admit it
I took a huge risk and trusted you with it
But you had no compassion for what I had to face
And all that you could give was floods of sheer rage
No empathy towards what I had been going through
When you knew how it felt to experience this too
The happiness, confusion, the fear and complex feelings
Not to mention my forced silence due to your own separate dealings
What a fool I was to think you could truly lend support
Never thought you'd treat me worse than you ever had before
All because your emotions were the only thing that mattered
Vengeance gave you the okay to smash me till I'm shattered
My expose chest bled yet I covered it like a pro
I took your brutal beatings but fought every punch you'd throw
You wanted me to feel guilt when I was just thinking you were crazy
Angry and defensive is exactly what you made me
Still I chose to empathize and to really get your side
Sacrificed how I felt to capture your state of mind
It did not prevent me from being honest however
And that's when you just couldn't get it together
Hated the fact that you were being straight up called out
That some of your actions had caused true serious doubt
Expected me to feel bad and cut you some slack I guess
And ignore how I'd been treated during those prior events
When you invalidated my emotions because you detested my explanations
Not exactly as you wanted them yup you bitched about the phrasing
Such immature and completely childish complaining
Truth is this was punishment because your heart was paining
And you've already made it known you're no stranger to acts of spite
Any time you're hurt you think hurting others is alright
Really is fascinating how you confessed you'd done it once, so why not twice?
Proud to say I'd never do something like that and never have in life
And then you have the gall to say I'm cold with no compassion
When you're the one who could not extend an ounce of understanding
Look in the mirror because you speak of your own reflection
You possess such a twisted perception of sincere connection
I suppose you believe people should sit and put up with your shit
That lashing out's acceptable till you're on the receiving end
Well let me tell you something, it does not work like that
Amusing how you can dish it but just can't take getting it back
I will not be your punching bag and the cause for your bad choices
And if this keeps happening to others in your life I hope they will raise their voices
Maybe some day you'll learn to see damage you inflict and accept when you're at fault
You must listen to people other than yourself and put this behaviour to a halt
