Gentle Heart

Connected by blood,

conditional love.

You threw my value away,

unless you could gain.

Wishing you the best success,

was reciprocated only if you benefit.

I only hoped to make you proud.

I’m invisible, no matter how loud.

I used to care what you thought of me,

but you actually think naught of me.

If I were to label it as gaslighting.

I would be putting it too lightly.

I was discarded without regard.

A heavy axe stuck in my heart.

Not even close to symbiotic.

Truly parasitic and toxic.
