Tumultuous End

It’s the end and I’ve done all I can to survive this hurricane we call being in love
Why stay in the rain when the sky on the other side is bright with new beginnings
I fight the urge to regret the choice I made to be with you and put my trust
When all you want to do is put me down take me on a rollercoaster ride then leave me 
Spinning wondering what I did to deserve your hatred toward me
Im a good person and I demand respect so because im hard on you when you mess up you want to 
throw my mistakes in my face and make it seem like im not loyal to you 
what is this that we call love
its damaging us
its leading us to say things we don’t mean
but it’s the end and its too late to redeem ourselves
the damage is done
after all the nights feeling empty inside
feeling misunderstood
we never say what we feel we only scream how much we hate
but really we hate ourselves
because we know this could have worked
but we chose unforgiveness and to be alone with the hurt
instead of holding on to love 
it ends like its start 
tumultuous

Teresa, this has good bones! Can I work on it and show you what I think? No invalidation--just maybe some tips.
