My weaknesses kill me as they are amplified With painful memories I want to hide I endured your wrong doing that never did rightl By me while I stayed faithful by your side Accused of things you did and lied About everything and selfishly tried Taking what you could of anything mine Losing to you while the old me died I was a glutton for punishment needing suicide Sickeningly full from swallowing pride Despite how many times you made me cry Giving into what I thought I wanted mine A fantasy that trapped me with my hands tied With willingness to work through the fight Being together, when all we did was collide I allowed you too much space in my mind I will never go back or press rewind Back to us with me trying to hide From what seemed like endless slowing of time Anguished with heartache I took in stride Closer to my limit with every crossed line You tried to break me into your design Convinced I was not already a dime In reality you wanted me obliviously blind Like you were to everything keeping you alive Now only flesh of all things unforgettably unkind To everything in me that brings to light Unconditional love you had by your side Now a hate that wishes you would have just died
