Damage, and broken trust.
The idea of a relationship once robust.

With the knowledge of your intent,
That relationship turns to dust.

I believed in you, and thought you had my best interest at heart.

Your betrayal runs deep
All the way from childhoods start.

You have belittled me, and torn me apart.
Left all alone with a broken heart.

Made to feel inferior, doubting my interior, all the while presenting yourself as my superior.

Motives always ulterior you played me for a fool and used me to substantiate your rule.

Sabotaging my every endeavor for your narcissistic pleasure.

I took your advice every time without exclusion
Because of this I've lived a life of confusion, lost in delusion.

Always judgmental your love seemingly merely ornamental.

The pain caused by your selfish control is exponential.

In your effort to dismantle my sense of self
You have cost me a wealth of confidence.

The consequence to my very soul is detrimental.

Further more its not coincidental, that I've been mistreated, misunderstood, and miserable in my relationships, ill-equipped and easily tricked.

The equation fits, time and time again insecure seeking to not just be dismissed.

To at least exist with some degree of acceptance or the possibility of acquiescence.

Only to find myself once again subservient subdued my concept of love misconstrued. From one controlling intralude to the next.

So it shouldn't leave you vexed that I will no longer suffer under this duress.

I can clearly see now how much you need me to be under you your thumb. Keeping me oblivious and dumb.

know that I will never be the sum of your whole.

Nor will I remain under the wrath of your control.

Emotions of the other
Erratically lured
Ripping of the soft heart
To have a cruel feast
Loads of moments
Let down by demons
Fair and honest
Frantically done to nest
Patient waits deplored
Finally daunts to be patient
Flora fauna that was
Became to be barren
Breach of trust is pain
Beneath in the mind!
