I wish you could see what you do to me.

You keep me bound up instead of setting me free.

Why is it your nature to be so mean?

Why is it wrong for me to be seen?

 

Though you hurt me, I still hold on

But one day you’ll see that I will be gone.

I’ve been planning an escape all along

It’s not me; it’s you that’s so wrong.

 

Once a gentleman. So polite

But the real you showed up when we began to fight.

I’m always mistaken and never right

You tell me I’m fat, a horrible sight.

 

I want to be me, so full of life

Find a true love and become a wife.

But all you’ve given me is endless strife

And a scar on my back from a jagged knife.

 

I want this to work, I’ve tried and I’ve tried

But all I get is lie after lie

I don’t want to have to say goodbye

But how much can I take before I die?

 

I want to feel the power of love once more

But I know I must pass through this door

It’s my family and happiness I must do this for

I’m sorry to say I can no longer be yours.

Sometimes as we come to know someone more we see new aspects of them and often the unpleasant side of someone onlly emerges after a while. When you have constant put downs it affects your confidence a great deal. The last sentence sounds like a decision and that is good. The hard part is carrying it through. As always yolu write wonderfully.
