Abused
Because it wasn't physical,
No hands were laid,
No foul words spewed,
I brushed it asaide and pondered
Where it fell apart and how to mend.
The rift that existed between us
Was like an open sore,
Every time I thought I was over,
You come back to settle the score.
Because it wasn't visible,
No blackened eyes,
No bloody lips,
I overlooked the pain and thought,
Where did I go wrong.
The chasm that filled our relationship
Was like a festered wound,
Everytime I treated the poison,
You fed the fire with emotional fuel.
Because you said you loved me,
I thought this was just a phase
But I realize that like parasite
You took from me all the love I had to give
And in return you walked away.
I look at the state of affairs
I look at my bleeding heart
I feel the life growing within
And realize you left when there was nothing left to use.
