Poetry You said you loved me
But you didn't come back for me
You didn't need me
You just used me
I was an extension to some other arms
Some therapy for a broken heart
A rebound for another guy
You say you love me cuz you come back
But you come back because I love you
Because Id do anything to see you happy
Id do anything to help you out
You use my generosity
You use my love against me
And I've never felt a pain worse
I'm sorry but those words hurt
I'm tired of being used
And mentally abused
Because it hurts so much
More than these burns and cuts
Now more than a year later I finish this verse
You're gone now, out of my life
I can't believe love is so blind
Love is so stupid
I finally recognize the abuser
You told me I was abusing you
When you were throwing the punches
I was full on getting hit in the face
Now you're finally out of this place
But you always bruised easily
So it would definitely get blamed on me
You called me a failure
You would pick me up to slam me back down
But I was the one trapped
Trapped to be constantly attacked
I was your living punching bag
But I could never leave
I was the only one that could see
She would yell and scream and hit me
And I would yell and threaten to leave
Right then you try to stop me
You would always come back
Back just to continue the attack
The next day you're sorry like it didn't happen
I put up with year of your shit
But you crossed a line and that's it
My son is my life and world
You put that at risk
I can take the punches
I can take the abuse
Not my son in danger
You hit me almost hurt my son
If you hurt him your time is done
Then he'll be with me forever
Your custody severed
I put up with your bullshit
But your lies are faster than bullets
So quick to protect yourself
Blatant lies to prevent arrest
So you threaten suicide to a cop
But everyone's tired of your bullshit
Get out of here
I don't want you
I'm finally done
Straws? That was the last one
But watch your back
Keep your ducks in a line
Your custody might be out of time
Break the rules you have to pay
One thing you haven't learned to this day
His life is the one that counts
You hurt him you don't deserve him
You have one last chance
Screw this up you'll never see him
And I'll be his savior
So may the odds be ever in your favor
