Crown of Shame

Our once “everlasting love”
Has come to its end
There’s no more need 
To deny or pretend 
It’s difficult and painful 
For me to admit 
You weren’t fully in the
Relationship and couldn’t commit 
The games you played were a 
Convincing disguise
Your well executed performance 
Deserves a Nobel prize 
You toyed with my emotions 
As if you found it amusing 
Without regard for my
Heart you were bruising 
In retrospect you are not 
Completely to blame 
Not ending it sooner is
My crown of shame
For too long I overlooked and 
Made every excuse 
Lying to myself your 
Actions were not abuse
The road to become me again
will be long
But with every day i will grow 
A little bit more strong
