She was once my sunshine,
My everything, my world.
But now her words are sharp,
Like daggers that unfurl.

The love we shared has turned,
Into a toxic game.
She knows just what to say,
To make me feel the shame.

Her words are like poison,
That seeps into my soul.
She tears me down, bit by bit,
Until I'm not whole.

I try to make her happy,
But nothing seems to work.
She finds fault in everything,
My heart begins to hurt.

She knows my every weakness,
And uses them against me.
I feel like I'm walking,
On a thin line of insanity.

She tells me I'm worthless,
And that I'll never be enough.
I start to believe her,
My self-worth begins to crumble.

I try to leave, to break free,
But she pulls me back in.
Saying she'll change, things will be different,
But it's just another sin.

I'm trapped in this cycle,
Of love and pain combined.
She has a hold on me,
A grip that's unrefined.

I know I deserve better,
But I can't seem to let go.
My heart still loves her,
Even though she's my foe.

I pray for strength to leave,
To break these chains of abuse.
But my heart still longs for her,
For the girl I thought I knew.

So I'll continue to endure,
Her emotional blows.
Hoping one day I'll find the courage,
To finally let her go.
