done.

i'm done giving you hints,

asking you to see me

how i want to be seen and heard.

i'll never have value in your life,

and that's on me--

i let that happen.

i gave you all the love i could muster,

all of it

when you said you wanted nothing.

so it's on me.

why have i been such a fool?

i feel foolish,

ignorant

and valueless.

i don't want to feel this way anymore.

i want to see my worth

and actually own it--

have boundaries

and not beg for you to come love me anymore.

i'm done chasing and waiting and hoping/

you'll never see my worth.

i quit.

i'm done.
