Eyes Wide Shut

I loved you like i had loved no one else. I'd hoped you loved me, but you only love yourself! You're selfish, evil and loathsome, while you're abusing. You lie, cheat, do drugs, and I'm the one you end up accusing! I've given you my heart, and every piece of my soul. How do you fall for someone whose heart was not whole? Why did you ask me to take your hand in marriage, If you were going to dwell on the difference of our heritage? So what if you're black and I'm white? Is that the real reason we argue, fuss and fight? Is it that I no longer allow you to tell me what to do? Or is it because I saw through to the real you? You may be darker than me, but you are so very transparent. I was wrong to put a ring on your finger, you weren't good enough to wear it!
