Within My Heart

Are you evil or just dead inside?
I don't think you realize,
Everything I've put up with.
You took me for granted,
Betrayed my trust and love
And ran it into the ground,
Maybe if you cared,
Or showed that you love me
I would have stayed.

But I'm leaving before you take my pride,
I've always tried to bring you,
Nothing else than perfectness,
But my thoughts are now a mess,
Always rushing back to you,
But I don't need to write it down,
You know what you've done,
And someday you'll be sorry,
For treating me like this.

So hear me out at least this time
That's the least you can do,
I've bend backwards for you
Always there when you needed
But still you have the stomach to say
That I'm not good enough
What's wrong with you?
Or maybe what's wrong with me?
For always coming back to you.

But it seems I'm addicted,
To all your hate, your lies,
The drama and stress.
I've never felt you next to me,
All I ever felt was your anger and hate.
But even with the pain and the lies,
I'm addicted to your addictiveness,
Hurtful as you are, painful as you come.

Still I'm in love with you,
And it's just crushing me.
Why can't I run away,
From your cruel embrace?
But even after all we've been through,
After all these hateful words,
Which I've written, I'll always keep,
A special place for you,
Within my heart.

To make a relationship work there must be love and respect from both people. A one sided relationship will not work. This is a very sad involvment for you. But there is someone out there who will love and respect you and treat you like a king.
