Fav's I've decided I'm through
I simply want out,
please give back to me...
my life.
What I am saying is true
I don't have a doubt,
I know I never want to be...
your wife.
You've caused me much pain
given me such grief,
you alone have broken...
my heart.
Things will never be the same
I now live in disbelief,
as promises you've spoken...
fall apart.
I've taken all a woman can
of your heartless ways,
as my single remaining dream...
has died.
You insecure and selfish man
with your jealous craze!
You're not at all what you seem...
you lied.
I gave to you my everything
it was never enough,
always wanting much more...
from me.
I can not go on pretending
so I call my own bluff,
what tomorrow has in store...
I'll see.
In this relationship I only gave
never once did receive,
the sweet love and attention...
I deserved.
I will not be your heart's slave
so today I must leave,
this hateful facility of detention...
time served!

Well said and done. Another female in the world of 'give and take'. You give, he takes. Well, glad you realized what was best for you and relieved yourself of the situation. Good luck to you.

There's some pretty powerful emotions behind those words! Everything rhymed so perfectly, I love that! And the over-all structure of the poem is excellent, too!
It's a definate "10"....."Two thumbs up".....Bravo!!!

Obviously straight from the heart-
there's a lot of emotional power in your words.
You're right to be proud of it.
