To the One

How selfish of me...

How selfish of me

to expect you to be...

Some version of yourself

I created in my head.

How angry I was...

How hurt,

I had become...

Far from

the person

you knew me to be.

In the end,

The betrayal lies

not in your hands...

But in my eyes

For deceiving my promise

to love YOU

For YOU

Not for what

I wished you to be.
