I Can Be Loyal

I started this journey with healthy expectations.

I knew that I had to be patient while we figured it all out.

I had no doubt that we would learn together

Was I naïve to have no hesitation in jumping in feet first? Cause you haven’t even taken off your shoes. You can’t expect love to remain when you completely neglect and misuse someone’s heart.

I can be loyal, and still not put myself through hell. I can be loyal, and leave if I’m not treated well. I know I love you, but not enough to be strung along. The way you went about this whole thing seems wrong.

You Sat me on the shelf for so long that I feel a distance from the bond that once kept me in this place.

But with no connection you’ve erased any expectation that I’ll ever see change.

You can’t neglect someone and expect love to remain.

There’s a fight inside me.

Part of me wants to keep holding on to all the promises you made, even though they’ve all been broken.

I chose to see things through your eyes, but there’s only so long that I can walk in your shoes.

There should come a time where you choose to look through my eyes too.

I can be loyal, and still not put myself through hell. I can be loyal, and leave if I’m not treated well. I know I love you, but not enough to be strung along. The way you went about this whole thing seems wrong.
