All I ever wanted was to be able to be what you wanted me to be.
But it was never enough.
You laugh at me,
you call me names.
Apparently my feelings to you,
Are some little game.
I long to see pride eminent in your eyes
But it seems to me that all I'm met with is cold disappointment.
Trying to please you is pointless.
I hate how you make me feel.
The way my body flinches whenever you come around.
I hate how you always seem to belittle me,
Downplaying my part in your life;
Making me feel unimportant. 
Any good memories we had are long forgotten.
Now in retrospection is the pain that has taken place.
Why don't you ever wanna be around me?
Why don't you ever want to spend time with me?
So many unanswered questions.
People make you out to be some great guy but they fail to see what goes on behind closed doors.
Because of you,
I was black and blue.
Because of you,
I was scared that no one would ever want me.
Because of you,
My heart ached night after night.
I keep asking myself,
Where in the hell did I go wrong?!
But you will never ever change.
Because you don't ever see anything wrong.
You constantly pick with me;
Trying to get a reaction
But I've long since learned not to give you the satisfaction.
So many broken promises
And so many empty apologies.
Where do we even go from here?
But I don't think either of us really knows.
And no longer is either willing to try.
A single tear travels down my face and crosses the line between the bittersweet end and the bleak subsequent future.
