How I spent nights cursing
the fate that brought us together
wondering by which sin
did I deserve a love so bitter!
The wounds you inflicted on me
had a familiar sting
a kind of poison I have tasted before
I told myself, I’ve stayed for too long
became addicted to the high
used the words to justify
my self inflicted wounds
used the disrespect as an excuse
to living in ruins
and never building myself up
when I gathered my courage
and finally turned to face you
I couldn’t fathom
instead of a monster
I found a mirror!
