It’s not enough that you’ve hurt me.
You had to turn everyone against me, too.
I treated you fairly.
Kate Hliznitsova
I offered you my kindness and compassion.
I gave you the benefit of the doubtlongafter you deserved even an ounce of my trust.
You know how to sway everyone to your side.
You know how to gain their sympathy.
You know how to alter facts.
You know how to screw me over again and again and again.
Its not enough that youve hurt me.
You had to turn everyone against me, too.
You had to make them believe in your side of the story.
You had to make yourself look like the heartbroken one, the helpless one, the victim.
You couldve owned up to the mistakes youve made.
You couldve vowed to make a serious change.
You couldve learned from your mistakes and became a better person because of them.
Maybe I wouldve found it in my heart to give youonemore chance.
They wouldnt have left you in their life for afractionas long as I had.
They wouldve walked away the first time you screwed up, and still, they call me selfish.
Im not going to apologize for sticking up for myself.
It doesnt involve constant disrespect.
It doesnt involve nasty arguments.
It doesnt involve unstoppable drama.
The best thing I ever did for myself was removing you from my life.
It brought me clarity.
Even though getting rid of you was good for me, it hasnt been easy.
Despite how cold and selfish everyone thinks I am now, you meant the world to me.
I tried to stay.
I tried to fight.
I wouldnt have walked away unless I had reached my final straw.
I wouldnt have let you go unless it was absolutely necessary.
