I spent close to 7 years
Thinking you were my person
But I was wrong
The last time I saw you
When you went into a rage
Screaming and shouting
Saying horrible nasty things
Just Like so many times before.
This time was different
Everything was clear
I didnโt try to make it better
I let you scream and shout
Spitting words
As cruel and careless as before
But this time it didnโt hurt me
It didnโt break me
Because I knew they werenโt true
And for the first time
I saw that the problem is you.
I used to take the blame
I used to beg and try and cry
And fight for your affection
You always put the blame on me
I used to cry and cry
because I thought I loved you
I thought you loved me
I thought I did something to deserve
All your anger, neglect and hate you threw
But this time
I saw the true you-
Thatโs why I didnโt try
I didnโt care to explain what you never cared to understand
I let you scream and rage
Because thatโs who you are and what you do
And when you left – when you abandoned-
this time – I didnโt try – i didnโt care- to stop you
Itโs what you always do
I didnโt text you
I didnโt hate myself
And this time I donโt feel bad
i did nothing wrong
But you always have put the blame on me
And that has allowed you -to never have to see yourself
So you continue to act the same
never sorry for any damage you do
When youโre drunk
When youโre triggered
You donโt want to feel
Anything good
Because you donโt want to feel anything bad
You wonโt get better
You will never change
You have nothing I can work with
You expect perfection but donโt give it
it takes little to nothing for you to
Destroy everything we have built
you donโt care if you tear – Someone or something down
And I can no longer take that risk
Because YOU DONโT CHANGE
I thought I loved you
But I was comfortable with
The toxicity that is you
Because your toxicity was so familiar
to the only kind of โloveโ Iโve ever known
Which isnโt love
Itโs abuse
And thereโs no excuse
For me not to not see
Who you really are
I see who you really are
