Facts Have Been Subtracted Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Regardless of those statements you've made,
To anyone who has given you time to listen.

I was the one who accepted your blemishes and flaws.
I had been the one,
Giving you time to disrespect mine.

And I was the one...
To turn my back on another one of your excuses.

And I am sure any empathy you have manged to gather,
Facts have been subtracted...
From your version and depiction of truth.

And of this I am certain from witnessing your past.
Since your routine suffers from a much needed update.
