It's The End

For years I have listened to you

Moan and complain

Grumble and whine

About everything in your life

Over the decades I have watched as you

Degraded and cussed

Demeaned and shamed

Those you proclaimed to love the most

Daily I’ve been a witness to your

Meltdowns and hissy fits

Blowouts and scenes

As you claimed your worth above all

😡

For years I have listened as you

Put me down

Making all my fault

About everything in your life

Over the decades I have watched as you

Whittled me away

Cursing my name

While you proclaimed your love for me

Daily I have been a witness to your

Egotistical abuse

Narcissistic neglect

As you claimed your worth above me

😢

For years, I have allowed you to

Insult and shout

Taunt and upbraid

Making up all kinds of accusations about me

Over the decades I have made excuses as you

Wronged and denigrated

Ill-used and defamed

Me as punishment for some stupid offense

Daily, I have allowed you to

Mistreat and bully

Prosecute and oppress

For you made me feel as if I had no worth.

😡

For years, I was the one who was

Weak and confused

Lost and afraid

Because of your mistreatment, you made me feel I deserved

Over the decades, I was too afraid to

Be alone

Leave

Because you made me think I could not live without you.

Daily, I have thought you'd

Hung the moon

Held the key to my heart

For you could make me feel so good at times.

😣

But now, I see ahead of me

A silver lining

A rainbow

Waiting to embrace me

For now, I have the

Hope

Strength

For a change, to do what I never could do before.

For now, something has

Changed

Happened

This will allow me the freedom to do what needs to be done

🌈

For now, the time has come to

Put me first

Move on

So I may regain the me that was lost to you

For now, the day has arrived for me to

Pick up

Put back together

The pieces of my life that you completely shattered

For now, the year has arrived and I can finally say

Goodbye, sayonara

Adios, good riddance

To a toxic relationship I allowed, because of feelings of unworthiness

🙌

You can only blame yourself

There is no one left to blame

You took the pure love I had to give

And turned it into my chains

You’ve pushed my unworth

Telling me always that I am at fault

When in all of reality, I never once rocked the boat

My heart you have taken into your hands

You have twisted it until it had no more to give

After you have used me up, you left me an empty shell

Nothing I did was ever good enough

Perfection, you did expect, but you never had it to give

Denying any mistakes, you claimed I did all the wrong

You pushed the last buttons the day you shoved me to the wall

Now you see my back is straight, my mind is set

Everything is made up, you can’t change the plan

It upsets you, so temper tantrums abound as we go about our daily lives

You break dishes, kick the trash can, and scream out loud

Like you could get the heavens to change my mind when nothing ever will

I have put up with a lot of your shit throughout the years

Overlooked many transgressions because you always came home

I know you were faithful, but there is more to a marriage than loyalty

There's love, honor, cherish, and to protect

Frankly, you have not given me any of this

It is time for me to say enough of this shit

I am moving on, it is time for a change

It is time for me to go on my way

I have got to learn to love myself first, and believe me, I will find a way

There is a change coming on

You are not going to like the outcome

The winds for once, are blowing my way

I will be able to cut the ties that bind us and move completely on

Finally breaking my chains, being able to afford to change my fate

You will be all alone because of the choices you have made

I have found a place to go

Nobody is staying here with you

Everybody is tired of all your drama

The shit you pull has gotten old

So, we are packing all our things

Loading up the U-haul

As we leave the drive, we will all wave a one-fingered goodbye
