Stupidity & Foolish Me

You left me hanging more times than I can count

Not once have I let go.

You've forgotten me all together

Still I waited

And smiled upon your return.

You've shelved me for shinier trinkets

As though I didn't know

With the nerve to call me out

On my own distractions

You've made me doubt

The only thing I've ever liked about myself

The killing blow

For a heart as soft as mine.
