For the boy-friends that fell, and the girls that never were

Is it mental disease to expect people to be honest?
To say what they mean and live that?
To choose you?
To make time?
 
Is it insecurity to expect timely response?
Commitment?
Follow up?

Is it over-bearing to expect support?
Thoughtfulness?
Presence?
Presents sometimes?


Is it needy & clingy to expect to be prioritized?
Thought about?
Appreciated?

Is it a sign a brokenness to expect care?
And calls?
And texts?
And questions about your desires?

'cause if it is, please tell me I’m crazy.
'cause if it is, PLEASE.TELL.ME.

Tell me I’m crazy for breaking up with you ‘cause you gave me words but never showed works
Tell me I‘m crazy for leaving after you blatantly ignored me for 3 days straight without care or remorse
Tell me I’m crazy for weaning myself off you after I called you in desperation and you didn’t pick up, and didn’t bother to call back, and let days pass as per normal
Tell me I’m crazy for telling you my heart and even more, giving it to you
Tell me I’m crazy for thinking you’d show up on my birthday - Or maybe your representative – a text, or call
Tell me I’m crazy for thinking we can be friends
For committing time
And showing interest
For adoring you
For thinking you’d remember
For opening my life up to you

Am I crazy for putting in the effort and running at your every command?

Please tell me I am crazy for expecting to be to you what you were to me

TELL ME,
Is it mental disease to expect you to be honest?
To say what you mean and live that?
To choose me?
To make time?


TELL ME.

May I

May I never forget
On my best day,
All the tears I cried
And the pain inside
How I had to stand, despite the tide
For there was nothing else to do but ride
