I could tell you what I feel,
Though it's clear you wouldn't understand.
I could hold you close to me,
But it's apparent you don't want that.
I could forgive your ways,
However, I think you won't change.
I could continue to look through blind eyes,
As you walk across my back.
I could be weak and let you lie,
Because it's what I've always done.
I could be what you need,
But it's clear you aren't doing that for me.
I could do this and more,
Being all you want and ask for.
But I can't continue to put my heart out there,
To have it treated with such disdain.
You have no compassion,
For all I've done for you.
So I could continue on this path,
But instead I'm taking another.
I'm walking away from you,
And the toxic feelings you spew.
You will continue on your way,
As though nothing has changed.
But I'll get stronger,
And I'll move on.
I could stay,
