YOU

It is the ones we love the most that can hurt us the most

He killed himself for you.
He sacrificed himself for you.
He chose you.
He always chose you.
The mistake he made was loving you.

He had desires before he met you.
He had a career before he met you.
He wanted to go places and he dreamt big before you.
His light shone bright before he met you.
After years, his light has dimmed because of you.
His desires have died out because of you.

He’s never had eyes for anyone but you.
He’s never entertained anyone but you.
He’s always been enchanted by you.
Forever a slave to you.
So now he is taken for granted by you.
He is disrespected by you.
He has to watch you entertain men and women who notice you.
His heart shatters in the most trechourous silence and loneliness because of you.

All of this because of his love for you.
This will however be the lesson I will carry in my heart.
After years of watching you two act like soldiers in a warzone yet so blind to the fact that the battle being fought may not be as subtle as intended because I noticed.
I got caught in the danger zone.
Love was once his advantage but now it’s his biggest disadvantage.
It may seem better to be alone than to watch someone destroy me like I have watched you recklessly destroy father.
Yet he stays because he loves you.
