Juxtaposition
Right and wrong love
For our time, there was nothing but indifference to my love and devotion
I didn’t deserve to be dismissed and disrespected through the decades of my loyalty
Even though you adored me
in the end, you didn’t seem to care if I was bleeding
Until your darkness became too much to bear,
how could you love someone so yet be cruel at the same time?
You set me free at the same time you broke away
I don’t know if your grass is greener now,
I only see my side of the street
Where there is love and devotion as it should be
without critical pieces missing
