He said all the right things
He told me I was beautiful, even flawless.
He made me feel like more than just a girl
He made me feel whole
And then he changed.
My salvation showed a new face
He said I was stupid
He called me ugly, nothing more than a waste of space.
He made me feel like I was a blight on humanity
He made me feel worthless
And then, as quick as a flash, he was back.
He was sorry
He told me he didn't deserve me
He made me feel like a goddess
He made me feel worthwhile
I don't know which man I'll get each day.
The man I love, the man I can't live without
Or the man that I despise, the man who makes me cry.
I come to find that I really can't live without the two
The joy and ecstasy of his praise make me shine
But the betrayals and the put-downs make me feel...alive
