Fuck You

Ha, fuck you.
How many years has it been? Two
Two long years of being walked on
Rattled, threatened, cornered
Unappreciated, used; just like you do
I do what I think you love
And it turns out I'm nothing
I'm nothing compared to what she can give you
To the dulling of the alcohol
Or the money she lets you burn through
Sorry I can't give you that
But I've given you more
More than you can ever imagine
I gave you my sanity
Two years of my life
I gave you my body
I gave you a child
I defended you, lied for you,
Cried for you
I would've died for you
But you can't offer a splinter of decency
It's a human courtesy, you see
When you're with someone, you actually see them
Not through them; I'm not a window
I'm a human being
A mother
A savior
A woman
And as a woman, YOUR woman,
It's your job to protect me
Respect me
Love me
Want me
Not
Leave me
Forget about me
Molest me
Yell at me
And force me to be here
So I'm leaving
Hopefully for good this time
Because I can't handle one more time
I can't be put on a back burner after everything
Everything I did for you
And I got my baby stolen from my arms because of you
I lost my college dream because of you
I lost the only positives in my life because of you
Friends, both men and women
I lied to the police for you
And lost a man for you
So don't tell me I do nothing for you
In fact, it's the opposite

Do you have a job working 40-plus weeks?
Do you beg and plead to see our baby?
Do you stay quiet to avoid a fight?
I didn't think so.

So fuck you!
Fuck this relationship,
and fuck this shit.
I'm out.
