Affliction
Just when I think I'm over you,
you call and say "Baby, I need you in my life."
My chest tightens and I start to panic,
you say things that make me want to stay your wife.
It's not fair that you can do this to me,
you push me away, then try to pull me back.
Things are good with us for a while,
then you show me the conscience that you lack.
We seem to go right back to you being malevolent,
cussing me out, false accusations, and calling me names.
Causing me heartache, and toying with my emotions,
the way you're feigning, you should be ashamed.
You say "Remember our times.",
however I don't think of what you mean.
I "remember" when you cheated, lied, and stole.
I "remember" that all wasn't serene.
My heart can not take all the sorrow
you continuously put it through.
Those three magic words of "I love you",
doesn't erase all the misery my soul accrued.
I'm not a book that you can can take down,
and use, then put away whenever you please.
I won't tell you it's okay to treat me this way,
so your bruised ego can be appeased.
Learn to treasure me for what I am,
a loving person who has feelings.
Because every time you play these games,
it's a piece of my spirit you are stealing.
