I stuck around to see you cry
I felt your pain but I helped you fly

You didn't care, you just bruised my skin
I had nothing left, you tore me within,

My life was everything I gave you it all
Now I guess you get to see me fall,

I don't show my anger I don't show my pain
But its funny because there's nothing keeping me sane,

The scares on my body you left for my shame
You called me everything but never my name,

I finally leave covered in my own blood
Ive had enough I'm stepping out of the mud.

How terrible that seven months must have been for you. Take great care to find a real man next time.
