double sided manipulation
Manipulation
[muh-ni-pyuh-lay-shn] verb
to manage or influence skillfully, especially in an unfair manner: to manipulate peoples feelings.

The definition of everything you are proud of
The definition of how you treat others
The definition of you

Manipulation

It's sad, isn't it?
Your only personality trait
Other than popping pills and self-harm of course

Manipulation

The one thing that is mine
Of course, you want

You want him

You may not even realize you want him yet
But I do
And when you do realize, It will be too late

Manipulation

I know you
Too well

Well enough to know I can't trust you

Is this all just jealousy?
Or is it me realizing that you are too toxic to have around?

Both

After everything I have done for you
This is how you repay me?

Manipulation

This could have all been fine if you would just listen

But you won't

Because you always have to be right
You never fail to throw in your two cents

You don't like being fine
You break yourself just for others to fix you

And this time,

I don't know if I can

You have now broken me
And I need to learn how to put myself back together

Manipulation.
