How Dare You

How Dare You

How dare you,
Tear me down.
How dare you,
Speak ill of me.
I have been,
Nothing,
But kind to you.
I have chosen,
Not to pass judgement,
Despite what you have done.
The past is the past,
Live and let live,
I believe this no longer.
I give you compliments,
I engage you,
In conversation.
I treat you as an equal,
All I ask is some respect.
I see those looks you give me,
I'm not trying to interfere.
I'm not a threat to you,
I'm not going to take her away.
How dare you,
Spew venom behind my back.
What are you?
Afraid to say it to my face?
I've heard worse.
But after I've been accommodating,
You've been nasty.
I speak to you,
And you push me down,
And you don't listen.
I'm just trying to be nice.
It's more than most.
But you just had to say that,
Didn't you?
Did you think she wouldn't tell me?
We have no secrets.
Not anymore.
I don't even know you,
Right now I don't care to.
Are you happy now?
You've made an enemy,
Of the person willing to forgive,
And I don't forgive often.
You've shattered,
The person willing to like you,
Willing to forget.
Are you happy now?
Thank you,
For saying the one thing,
That would hurt me most.
The one thing,
That makes me the most insecure.
I wouldn't throw stones,
In glass houses woman,
There a thousand things,
I could say to you,
But I don't.
You know why?
You're not worth the energy.
You don't mean enough to me.
I care,
Don't get me wrong,
It's upsetting,
It hurts in the most personal way,
And I don't plan on letting it go,
But I won't return it.
No.
I'm better than that.
But congratulations,
You are nothing.
