truth be told, I never was yours (poem)

I'm not sure I ever loved you
not in the way you loved me
not the way you wanted me to
for me it was always a side story
my destiny lay elsewhere
you were a temporary plaything
I tossed you out when it suited me
and got you back when I felt like it
I preyed on your insecurities
stabbing my knife in your open wound
“loving” you when it was convenient
and when it was finally over
I never really looked back
I've never lost sleep over you
it's never brought me to tears
losing you was a relief
I was so tired of playing pretend
when my heart was never yours.
