I wanted it to be you. I begged for it to be you. I suffered greatly, put up with the pain and the constant fighting. Put up with the let downs and the continued threats and ever constant emotional turmoil you kept me in. I loved you, and kept you close to my heart, because as hurtful as you were, i felt like you were the only one who could really care for me and our child. I cowered in fear as your anger grew and let you throw your words at me, i let you come to me and use me afterwards, as if sex could ever undo the damage and scars that you have created. Still yet I fought for you, i ignored my creator because i knew he wanted better for me, i fought against my family so they couldn't see what a monster you really were, i let you build a wall between all i ever knew, and let you take me halfway across the country, to make you happy, to let you know how much I was willing to let go for you, and yet you still have ruined every beautiful thing I ever held dear about myself. I now draw up my guard as a security blanket every time someone looks my way because i don't feel good enough, you have plucked my flaws out one by one and shown them to me in detail, you have pushed me away every time i reached for your hand and told me to grow up. I'm never enough for you, when i have done everything for you. I once was a beautiful woman, and now I'm nothing but a ruined child. I've lost my way in a sea full of people and because of you, have no one to show me the right path. You have hurt me for so long, and yet I still want to run back into your arms and give up. I used to have so much hope for you, and now you leave me with nothing but feelings of despair. You act so tuff, but on the inside your nothing but a coward, because you break others down just so you can feel inferior.
I prayed so hard for you, and I feel like my prayers go up into thin air. I know God is somewhere out there, but maybe I have ignored him for too long for him, maybe he truely has given up on me. Why wouldn't he when maybe I have given up on myself. I used to have so much fight in me, and all of that has turned into sadness. Sadness because I have let a man turn me into something that I never wanted to be.
I wanted so badly for you to be that man, but it was all an act before. You just pretended to be that so that I could fall deeper into your arms, into your black hole of a heart. Now the pain of letting you go is so great, there is so much at stake, and I can't just walk away like before. Now there is so much more to it than that. I need God more than I ever have before, and i don't even know how to talk to him. I don't feel like he even listens anymore. I want to blame you...blame you for letting me lose sight of who I was, but what would that solve? I just need to know what to do now...
