Pornography

It took me years but I'm over you.
I compromised my intergrity and 
dignity for you.
I left it on the backburner and you 
were my priority.
Things were not easy but as long 
as I had you I was happy.
I was changing into the man you 
wanted me to be.
Denying truth as I worshipped your 
lies and deciet. 
Until one day, when I was with you.
I started to see signs saying WHAT 
WE HAVE IS UNTRUE.
I see  you're calling my home, 
telling me you miss me.
Sending messages through my 
friends that you are looking for me.
I ask um : HOW IS SHE? WHERE 
DOES SHE DWELL?
NEVER MIND. I KNOW.  SHE'S 
LIVES IN HELL.
