Thinking back I realize
the big mistake I made
lending you my heart and soul
for more than just one day.

You were so gentle
when we started out,
but quickly turned sour
towards such a bitter thing.

The pain from the fights.
The rough words you said.
Now I can say I don't miss
those rotten old days

Your words pierced my flesh.
Your screams bled my heart.
But I don't need your love.
I'm learning strength, alone.

So don't come crying
back to the love we once shared.
You just won't find it.
It is not even there.
