The Ex

Looking back at the past relationship I've had
I question why I stayed when it was so bad
The only conclusion I can draw; he had me hook line and sinker
 Controlled confined from life, no more an original thinker
I thought as I saw what he was doing and I was in control 
But his manipulative ways eventually took there final toll 
No confidence left, no opinion that could be shared
His dissatisfaction from that I wouldn't be easily scared
But just when he thought he had me in a shadow of who I was before
 I rebelled thought screw you and I'm not taking anymore
I’ll never forget his face drop as I packed to leave
 Set free from his confinements I was finally freed
 It makes me laugh his attempts to win me back
 That is a misery is something  I couldn't again hack.
That ex significant other is the one that makes you question why?
Why didn't I see it sooner why prolong something that’s set to die?
Why did I waste my time building a bond that’s sure to break?
My wasted efforts to make it work a truly a big  mistake
I have learnt from the heart ache and emotional torment
 One vital Fact Ive taken from it all; not to need accent
Accent to the way I live my life or my choice in opinions that  I have
 I wish him all the misery I endured and  his conscience to never be  salve.
If only I had, had a warning of what he's like and what I should expect
I’m pretty sure it would of sounded something like the following txt
Your life is not your own no more you should put my feelings first
 Ill take away your confidence
Self worth will day each day
Acknowledgment will be received its done my way
Your tastes will change to fit my likes and when your spirits gone..
I will continuously put you down and convince you that your wrong 
Cut you o? from your friends
Socially confined
Overtime il take it all, but never be satisfied.
