Your excuses

They hurt

So bad

They’re

Lame

Stupid

Annoying

Pathetic

Weak

Humiliating

Yes

It’s humiliating that you’d think I would believe any of them

Don’t you know that you’ve already hurt me enough?

Don’t you know that there are so many other things hurting me now?

Physically

Mentally

Emotionally

And you don’t care

You really don’t

And that’s why you give the excuses

Why you stop our texting conversation after I’ve been trying to contact you for hours

And you stop after one reply

Why you can’t answer my phone calls

Because you’re going to go to sleep

It’s eight in the evening

And you never sleep

When I try to ask you something about arranging something later that week

Or figuring something out

You never answer my questions

You know it hurts

You have to know it does

But I never know which excuses to believe

Which excuses are real

I don’t know

I just don’t know

And you won’t help me

You don’t give me any reason to believe anything you say

So read my lips:

It

Really

Hurts.

It does

So can you just say it differently

Just tell me you don’t want to talk to me right then?

Sure I would hurt

But I would hurt in a different way

Because I actually know what you’re thinking, then

And if I know what you’re thinking, I know how to deal with it

But it’s as if you want me week

To use me for some other awful purpose later on

So I can still be there for you

But why is it that you’re not really there for me?

Because you “tried” to help the other day

When I was completely left out

But you tried way too late

Way

Too

Late

So it didn’t matter by then

And everyone knew that you were trying

And that just made me feel worse

I mean sure it feels better to know you’re trying

But

Still

It’s always those excuses

That I hate the most
