Bleeding Heart

My heart is bleeding And I wish you could see The pain and sadness You have inflicted on me I have given my all Everything that I am But you clearly don't see Or just don't give a damn You feel I'm obligated That it’s my duty to stay To try and make you happy In some sick and twisted way Uncaring and condescending Your words cut to the bone You feel you are my life’s ruler Sitting high upon your throne But your reign over me has ended No more torturing my soul It’s my dignity I need to salvage And my heart I need to console You’re a fool to have thought I would lie down at your feet That I could live with the pain Or I would cower and retreat I’ve gathered all my strength Bandaged my bleeding heart It’s time to start the healing And gracefully depart. As I walk through the door I will hold my head high But I will leave you with these four words Which are BLANK YOU AND GOODBYE!
