When you're in a toxic relationship, it's hard to discern the difference between being in love or being addicted. Then you just have to go 'cold turkey'.
I thought we could make it, if given half a chance, never dreaming it would be our last dance. It's just not fair for life to be so cruel! I loved you so much and tried for so long to convince you that loving me wasn't wrong. Now you think I was playing you for a fool! I put up with a lot of 'cause you were The One; stuck by you even when I knew it was dumb. You put me through hell, but I was 'in love'! But, as fate would have it, I came into money and then you decided you wanted only me. Seems all you needed was that one little shove. Now I'm not stupid; I knew the score. But when you started calling me a whore after I was the one paying all the bills! The love is gone. I don't care anymore. It felt good to be able to show you the door. And no, I'm not putting you in my will!
