May 2018
It was you and me
Against everyone else
But nobody could see
Your honest, true self

The abuse was not at all physical
And no one had a clue
This made my mental health critical
With my heart severely damaged, too

I tried and I tried
To get far away
I even lied
So I wouldn't have to stay

But you refused to let go
Of the girl you claimed you loved
Even when her self esteem was low
Because of your so called "love"

Our story has finally ended
And we have both said our goodbyes
It may be hard to make our hearts mended
But we knew this was better when we looked into each other's eyes
