Boiling over
With rage inside.
Your pain and contempt
Barely able to hide.
Selfish and cruel
Your disrespect for me.
My love and compassion
You disregard uncaringly.
Misguided expectations
On how you’re to be treated.
Wanting more than any could give
More than ever could be needed.
You take without giving
Then act like I owe
Your endless demands
Leave me nowhere to go
Your anger keeps rising
Like a storm in the night
I try to bring calm
But you’re spoiling for a fight
I’ve poured out my heart
Till it’s hollow and sore
Yet nothing I do
Seems to matter anymore
The weight of your scorn
Has grown heavy to bear
I’m tired of the chaos
And walking on air
So I’m drawing the boundary
No more bending in two
I’ll guard what is left
Of the love I once knew
The fire inside me
Is now under control
I’ll heal in the quiet
Till I’m again made whole
