Struggle

You've left me all by myself,
With no one and with my mind obsessing,
From hearing your irrational excuses.

You unraveled my dignity,
Shredded it in the bin,
I know you will remember me,
	-as your constant struggle.

I tried my best, as best as I could,
You reminded once again,
Questions from misguided accusations.
Honest as I was, I will always be remembered,
	-as your constant struggle.

Do you really believe I could destroy you?
I almost died when you said we were through.
My heart stopped beating, 
My carotid artery started bleeding,
And after all that we've been through,
You will always see me,
	-as your constant struggle.
