Love's Emotional Abuse

The one we care about the most,

Treats us like an option and not a priority.

They disappear whenever they choose,

Only to return when it is convenient.

Love is not a guessing game,

It shouldn't leave us crying at night

Waiting for messages, for calls,

For any signs that they still care.

We feel trapped, ignored and unwanted,

Forced to question our own worth.

We wait for someone to care & love us,

The way we care & love them, but hear only silence.

Pain doesn't always come from shouting or fights,

The deepest wounds are cut from silence.

We feel like we don’t matter even when we reach first,

This isn't love; It's emotional neglect.

Each one of us deserve better,

Do not hesitate to walk away.

When care, love & respect is real, it is mutual;

When it's reciprocated, it feels like home.
