My emancipation

Over and over you lied to my face.
Each time I tried a little harder to regain your respect.

You hurt me repeatedly in ways I had asked to stop.
Every time I pleaded you more to stay.

You showed me how low a priority I was.
I begged to hear something I needed to hear.

You claimed not to have the time to deal with us.
I spent more of my time to help you.

You used that time to see other people.
I responded with desperate tears and gestures.

Every day you made me feel worthless.
Every night the cuts grew longer and deeper.

You took every chance to be away from me.
I went crazy from being alone.

You told me it was finally over.
I made the decision to end it all.
