Besides

Besides the lies
I accepted it

Besides the remorse
I encourage it

Besides the wickedness
I praised it

Besides the pain
I endured it

Besides the beatings
I wanted it

Besides the love
I resented it

Besides the love
I required it

Besides the joy
I buried it

Besides the happiness
I cut it

Besides the life
I ended it
