Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

Don'T Hurt Yourself Please Hurt Me Instead

You can't hurt me twice if you have hurt me once, 
as only the past controls this influence 

I can see that you feel bad so I show empathy 
fixing your guilt must mean I ignore me 

You made a mistake and it's what I believe 
please don't feel bad that you cheated on me 

You are clearly stressed out so I give sympathy 
I guess looking at you means I'm blocking out me 

I absorb your pain so from it you are freed 
loving you means you matter more than me 

Months will go by and you'll do it again,
I'll forgive you as I did back then 

And then you just cheat knowing what will happen 
I show more empathy ignoring the pattern 

You'll take me for granted as I stop your sorrow 
and I'll treat you so good even though I feel hollow 

I'll make up my mind and decide it's time to go, 
and be the greatest thing you no longer know

Because you cheated and cheated again and again, 
the control that was yours became mine in the end 

Now I'm done with you and I'll never come back, 
and you'll love me when I'm gone, I'll never come back 

You had control of the relationship on which I depend 
but you're dependant after I say we end 

You say I can't forgive and then change my mind, 
you claim you're heartbroken and I was unkind
