Watching

I was inspired to write this as I watched my ex boyfriend suck the life out of a girl he ended up dating. Thank you, Austin Groff.

I've watched you be with her for months with blood shot eyes.

I watch you feed her all those familiar lies.

 

The ones you did me,

when you had convinced me we were meant to be.

 

I watch as you suck out all her emotion,

then lecture her about devotion.

 

I've been there for her when she sheds those tears,

and I try to save her as she's drowning in her worst fears.

 

I've watched you tell her she's the one,

then acuse her for the things you have done.

 

I watch as you hold her hand like she's a porcelian doll

reassuring her you'll catch her if she falls.

 

Then you push her around and knock her down.

 

I watch her ask you why

and you claim it's because she doesn't try.

 

I watch as she dedicates her life to you,

like I once did when I had no clue.

 

You have brainwashed her to thinking that this is love,

and I pray God will show her as he watches above.

 

Without a doubt, she needs to get out.

Great rhyming, i liked the emotions and feelings present in the lines, it's tragic how the same person make more than one girl suffer i wish everybody had those compassionate feelings for others, good job!
