Pride
by Markesia Bailey
Eyes burning
Stomach turning
No butterflies
Just anger inside
Reluctant to the idea of losing
But I know it's not my choosing
You chose to put others first
So I’m going to hit you where it hurts
You say you want our relationship to last
But that ship has sailed
You’re in my past
The battle I was fighting wasn’t the same as yours
I wanted you and you wanted me
But I fought for us and the memories
You fought for your image and your insecurities
During the battle I was on your side
But love was trampled by pride
It hurts me
Because
You couldn’t see
that you were your biggest enemy
