Mistakes

You couldn't handle my feelings, So unintentionally, I gave you my rage. Sometimes in the form of text, Sometimes on a page. Words, are how I get things out. This is something that you know. When I hold too much inside, The words inside me overflow. But never did we talk it through, You never bothered to mention them. I felt so invalidated at the time, So I vented my pain, again and again. You kept my unanswered rantings, As some twisted kind of proof. Of how messed up I really was, While you got to hide the truth. You didn't hurt me with your fists, Only occasionally with your words, No. You scrubbed me out until I was invisible, Abandoned me with my hurts. You left me when I needed you most, You were never emotionally there. You gave me just a day or two, And then you didn't care. You stopped seeing me as a woman, And started treating me like a tool. Applying the bare minimum to get what you wanted. Made me feel like such a fool. I can't even buy a single card, All the sentiments, seem fake. I feel like we have run our course. That staying married is a huge mistake.
