Numero Uno

I yearned for your love I craved your touch I wanted your love badly “But what's love got to do,got to do with it?” All you do is use and abuse me And take my kindness for weakness You don't appreciate me Nor respect me as a person “What's love but a second hand emotion.” I’m done being your doormat And I’m looking out for numero uno Don't try to stop me I gave and I gave “What's love got to do, got to do with it?” I have nothing left to give you And I’m through with you Good riddance, goodbye I’m out of here “Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?” 4-6-16 Alexis Y. Inspired By What’s Love Got To Do With It By the amazing Tina Turner

I removed my heart long ago, no one would be foolish enough to seek me!

Hello Alexis. It is always a difficult decision of whether to stay in a bad relationship or leave. I have always thought if having a better life being alone or free from abuse or harm is better. Everyone deserves a good life. Your entry is motivational and has a good message. Well done entirely.
