Your Own Worst Enemy

All you ever did was lie
You lied when you said you would change
And so did I
I don't deny my role in this
I did enough to mess us up
But I always stayed consistent
Didn't I
When i blew up our lives
And offered you everything
Asking for nothing
You ask for money
For the same freedom

And you flew to missouri
Got on your knees
Lying to me some more
Lying to yourself
Evermore

For four years
You lied to me
Lied to you
And what's worse
You offered forgiveness
A family
And I was finally healing
And even as I called you out
You couldn't help
But lie again
We are not friends
You shouldn't have offered
What you offered me then
When you begged back then
Another half assed attempt
At change
To keep us there
For you gave the bare minimum
Instead of letting me leave
Instead of leaving yourself
And the truth is Lugo
You never meant to keep your promises
And I guess neither did I
But for all the fibs I told
I never gave you hope
Or maybe
I’d dashed those
So completely
So I guess we're even
Except I won't sit here and blame you for everything
I accept the narcissist in me
Do you?


**Remember, any relationship started in deceit is doomed. Take it from a cheater. Oh, and how easy it is for the righteous to fall. It's not so hard, huh lover?**

Author's Note
I'm not the reason you procrastinated. You were doing that when I met you and you did it when we were married cause the bare minimum felt like such an effort to you. You make me sick, literally. I didn't know how sick you made me until I realized thats what I thought would make you feel worthy, for you to turn and tell me Im intimidating. Not even the demure me was enough. On my own I am my strongest. I see what I did to myself countless times to get what I asked of you. Never again. And you, Lugo, can blame me all you wish. But whatever, whomever, motivates you now I hope you're not feeding her BS too. I hope she never has to sacrifice her sex, her drive, to match yours. Pathetic. Blame me all you wish. I'm done being responsible for other people's weaknesses. It's time I feed my strength
