My Sacrifice

by Bettye   Aug 3, 2003


4 years of my life, I spent it with you
Breaking my heart, something I thought you would never do
I moved away from everything I knew
I did this because I truly loved you
After the move, things were different
You never wanted to be with me
I then found out what you had done with my then best friend Mindy
You denied it at first,then you said it was only a kiss
The pain and hatred I have for you is neverending.
Remember,"We will get through this, we will find a way?"
I took back my job resignation and decided to stay.
Fast forward...2 more years in hell
Apparently, things did not go so well
You said a lot of mean cruel things to me.
Such as,"Who would ever want you?" and "God, you are so ugly."
Remember,"Where are you going to run back to?Mommy and Daddy?"
I used to cry myself to sleep every night.
The next morning all I would get were puffy eyes and a face the color of white.
For all the tears that I shed
I am so very thankful that we did not wed
After the last fight
You said some uncalled things that night.
How I was a b*tch and you hoped that I would die.
You left for your job in Reno
The way that you made me feel, you will never know.
As I sobbed and cried that night, I made my decision to go.
That's when everything came to me, you know?
The name calling, backstabbing, and constant lies.
Leaving you was the only way
You made me unhappy, there was no way I could've stayed.
Letting you treat me the way you did, that was my mistake.
Thank you for proving to everyone that you are a real loser and a fake
You always had to get your last word in
I am now gone from you, forever lost.
I paid the painful price
Me leaving, was your lost.
You were given the chance to make things right, twice.
This time, I wasn't your doormat and I wasn't so nice.
Leaving you without your knowledge was my last word.
I left with class,my dignity, and a hard lesson to be learned.
