No More Fool for You

I am done being a fool for you,
For you never spare a thought,
For you never bother to give,
The love that I have long sought.

From now on, I match your energy,
I won't give more than I receive,
I refuse to be taken for granted,
Or made to feel like I'm naive.

If you cannot treat me as your equal,
Then you cannot handle what's true,
For I am too much to be handled,
By anyone who can't love me anymore.

I need love that fills my soul,
That meets me where I stand,
If we can't fill each other's cup,
Then you cannot handle me, my friend.

No more fool, no more ghosting,
I'm on a path of self-reflection,
I know my worth, I know my place,
And I won't settle for love that's a deception.
