Deserving

My feelings grew

Plentifully and steady

Water flowed lively in my garden

You chopped them off at the roots

The soil now barren

Cracked and empty

You tell me:

“you deserve someone infinitely better than me”

Because you chose another

So she doesn’t deserve better too?

Or do you see her as a lesser woman?

Someone more your low level?

Maybe she makes you less intimidated?

Maybe you feel less inferior to her?

You speak so highly of me yet diminish yourself?

I guess if she’s happy settling for… that

I’m glad I’m not

You wanted to be friends

A relationship you say you truly value

Yet this is how you treat me

You don’t value our friendship

You don’t value me at all

You want to feel better about your choices

Resolve the guilt sitting in your stomach

I deserve better

And better I shall be

You deserve whatever comes

That problem is of no concern to me

You are of no concern to me

I have plenty relationships I value

Who show me my value back

I feel sorry for the girl

She probably deserves better too

Hopefully she sees it for herself one day

The grass is greener on the other side
