Been There, Done That


And for every time he said he loved me,

I kept thinking that he meant it.

Fight after fight, I am stuck.

Caught between a question, to which I begged

Your disregarding vision,

left stains I’d best forget.

Hanging our memories,

On a string of my regrets.

 

Do I persist because I care,

Or do I stop because you don’t?

 

But your ignorance will not be justified,

Your lies forever engraved.

You’re not worth the pain,

And I’m worth so much more.

 

I don’t need Screaming.

I don’t need Put Downs.

I don’t need Deception.

I don’t need Blaming.

I need Communication,

I need Support,

I need Honesty,

I need Passion,

I need Happiness.

And finally I know,

I will never find that in you.
