Your words raze my esteem

your constant affronts and tirades 

shatter my heart 

You joke of my pain

and my misery

yet I keep letting things slide

You leave me in tears

thinking of your affairs

and if you ever cared

You leave me demented

yet all of this you could have prevented

and maybe I could have remained,

sane

You arouse self hatred in me

But yet I act like I didn’t see

see you making me lost at sea

I open up to you 

For the sweetness of your voice 

As you seek forgiveness

Makes me forget 

Forget all you have countlessly done
