The Reason I Left

Hide thy love from me
You will be forgotten
Cheated on me with another
Your ways were so rotten
I loved you with all my heart
Now I have no reason to see your face
Your mind is lost, your heart is cold
I call you Mr. Disgrace
You say you love
But only your spirit was inside of me
I never got the love i wanted
But now I can finally set myself free.
You say you're too good for me
But that is where you're wrong
I finally found another
And its their heart where I belong
You never knew how much I cared
Gave you all I could plus all I shouldn't
You made a promise to me
Trusted you even though you wouldn't
But no more will you hurt me
My heart has been beaten to death
I'm finally done with the pain
CAuse this is the reason why I left

Wow, I'd give that a ten if possible. I have to find a poem that represents the word "reason" for my comp class I would love to include this poem in my focus on the word. It takes away one task with ease and beautifully frames the 22 years I poured into a loveless marriage that left me feeling beaten and used. Thank you.
