So, I Gave Up

Building upon hurt while your feeding on my pain
Tumbling and tripping on boundaries that you
should’ve never stumbled upon
You’ve crossed the line
Using my pain as pleasure and mixing my thoughts 
like flipping weeds
So I Give Up
I would give up everything there is to have the old me back
I would love to have new beginnings and say New Years
to all including myself
But so sad you want differ 
You rather see tides calapse with the ground and raging waves in destruction 
While I’d rather have no fading ends and sun setting 
skies with calming winds
The two doesn’t Mix, But opposites attract and your My 
magnet
Should I give up?
Chasing pavements isn’t my thing
You keep causing fallen stones and tumbling hills
Why can’t you just allow the storm to pass over before you cause the end of it all?
But you don’t care
The sunlight caught you eye and your judgement has been killing me but never oh so softly 
So I give up
Why cloud over me and brag on your success of breaking me?
Could I have some credit of survival?
Stop putting blank spaces in this conversation and shoot you shot
Instead of shooting me down build me up I am not society
The Great Wall Of China is Up but your not understanding 
Your scaring the wall and pushing buttons I didn’t even know existed
You played me
Life’s a checker board, you’ve played wisely
You shifted gears and knocked me down
I believed in you but in easier words 
You lied to me 
I should’ve gave up 
You made me into something I am not
I am not a giver upper 
But I’ve reached my stage and the audience is not enjoying the show
So I gave up

You can look at it as a new beginning, starting over to be in better places, rather than giving up. It sounds like you deserve much better. Good expression in this write :)
