Thank you for making me feel

Like I was so special.

Thank you for seeming to be

The man of my dreams.

Thank you for telling me

You couldn’t live without me.

Thank you for convincing me

You were different than the rest.

Thank you for confessing

Your love that one evening.

Thank you for showering me

With unending praise.

Thank you for admitting

You couldn’t do better.

Thank you for helping me

Feel I could trust you.

Thank you for one day

Showing your true colors.

Thank you for letting

The mask slip off your face.

Thank you for reminding me

To trust my gut instincts.

Thank you for teaching me

What manipulation is.

Thank you for giving me

Reasons to cry.

Thank you for pretending

I was the problem.

Thank you for wasting

20 years of my life.

But mostly, I want to say

Thank you. For nothing.
