Stop

Don’t lie to me.

Say you’ll do

and then back out.

Don’t raise my hope

and then let it drop.

Don’t set me up

and then walk away.

Don’t take it so high

and then let me fall.

Don’t put yourself out there

and then hide behind me.

Yesterday, I wanted to laugh like a maniac.

Today, I want to cry in the dark.

It’s not fair that you can stand in the shadows

while I’m taking the blame for everything.
