I was never fooled

I was never fooled
Finally I said enough

You have lied and used enough

You truly believed I was fooled in thinking that you loved me

I was never fooled

I met you in a place filled with sadness and I saw your selfish desire

I gave you a hundred moments to wake up and finally take responsibility

I have also spent lonely cold dark nights upon pavement beds and I have been hungry and tired and I have done horrific acts in the name of survival.

I was never fooled by your so called affection or tears which only appeared when you seeked a way out

I knew when you were lying and how little you cared for my feelings

I was never fooled by the excuses and all that 'you will survive' crap

I was never fooled by your great pretender act or the words you spoke

I only wanted to show you that you are precious and worthy

Give you back a little dignity and some hope to a peaceful night rest

I wanted you to understand that not everything has a price and not everyone wants something in return

I wanted you to stop hidding and defending. I only wanted to love you and be loved unconditionally.

After all the time spent with no judgement or demands. So many battles fought for you and with you.

After proving time and again that I am not the same as your prosecutors and that even in your wrongs I still didn't turn away from you.

I was never fooled

I just truly cared

I just really loved

I always hoped

I was never fooled

I knew you didn't love me

You were selfish, self centred, arrogant, entitled and deeply in denial.

I was never fooled

I was never blind or deaf or dumb

I was only one thing

A person who truly understood and accepted you in all your good, bad and ugly.

Now I'm just done...
