What Have I Done

What have I done? You treat me different but I keep asking why You beat me like I am a slave What have I done? There is nothing I don’t try to do You watch me cry like a baby You did nothing What have I done? Where have I go wrong? When I ask you why you said nothing When I do something good I never get a complement But I just walk away thinking I did something wrong What have I done to deserve this treatment? What have I done? You smile when you see me cry but deep inside you want me to die You treat me like I belong in the trash What have I done? I say good bye but you just look at me like I am crazy You watch me fall When I ask you said nothing What have I done? I cry for your name but instead I hear nothing You never say you love me You never say you care for me You never said I belong in your world You just wish I disappear When I ask you what should I do to please you You give me a dirty look What have I done? I give you my life My soul My everything You gave me sadness, loneness, heartbroken What have I done?

"What have I done?", a question you asked 8 times. From the first stanza to the closing still no answer. Your partner's actions speak louder than words. Is it not time to move on with your life and liberate yourself from the physical abuse and emotional anguish? You deserve better. Much better. By the way, eleventh line you probably meant to say "compliment" not complement. I wish you the normal life and love that you deserve.
