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.
