When Your Cup Is Empty

Why do you torment my heart?
When all I have done was love you from the start
With each drop of compassion you tore from my soul,
Ridiculed and used me to feed your ego,
Narrcissic behavior, you saw a sensitive spirit,
Each tear I cried, you filled your cup to drink it,
The hunger of manipulation courses through your veins,
Abusing my love for you as if it's a game,
I don't want to be there when your eyes finally open,
When you see the truth or your heart gets broken,
Even then I will still love you in the midst of that pain,
But while your abusing me I must walk away,
