You

You've sent me through hell and then back again.
I keep asking myself, "Will this ever end?"
Your words eat through me like termites to wood,
But everyone tells me it is for my own good.
How can change so painful be considered great,
When the only thing changing is my level of hate?
My hate grows stronger with every lie I am fed,
Thoughts demented like Poe dance through my head.
I can't stand the sound of your voice, or the look of your face
Why won't you leave me alone and let me die in disgrace.
You say that you're sorry, but your words have no meaning,
Words cannot heal my heart, so I'll continue with grieving.
I gave a piece of me that you can never have returned,
So you take it and rip it and set it afire just to watch it burn.
You walked over me once, it will never happen again,
I will find the strength with which to let my life begin.
