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.
