Worthy Only Jar
So now you want to feel betrayed
after all that YOU have done
and point your finger right at me
like I am the one
That left you all alone
in quiet misery
But that was exactly
what you did to me
And when I cried unceasingly
begging you to care
You cruelly turned your back on me
with unfeeling, selfish flair
Your face was filled with bitterness
your eyes were hard and cold
as you ranted when I sobbed
and watched my pain unfold
I told you I was broken
that I didn’t want to live
But you chose to say “so what”
and belittled me instead
I watched you do for others
what you wouldn’t do for me
giving them what they ask for
But you never let them see
What a cold heart you have
how demeaning you can be
to someone that you broke
and labeled as unworthy
After years of still believing
what a good man you are
I finally saw you kept your love
in a “Worthy Only” jar
Worthy only for the ones
that you are trying to impress
leaving me feeling left out
but you couldn’t have cared less
But what you failed to see
the ones you tossed away
are the ones who cared the most
at the end of the day
So many faces
so many long lost friends
But your “Worthy Only” jar was full
and we no longer fit within
I no longer care to try
to find my way back in
trapped inside your Worthy Jar
I’m happy where I am
