A new love

I let you get away with it,
Everything you did,
I never said a single word,
My pain and anger hid.

For so long I thought you loved me,
For so long I was fooled,
You crushed my heart and soul,
My thoughts and feelings pooled.

I never told you how I felt,
I really should have though.
I never deserved all that hurt,
I wish I had made you go.

You made me so self-conscious,
I never felt good enough,
You never said I was beautiful,
You appeared to be too tough.

You were always right,
I was always wrong,
I’m glad it’s finally over,
I’m going to be strong.

I’ll find someone who cares for me,
Who will never let me down.
He’ll always make me smile,
He’ll hate to see me frown.

Unlike you, he’ll love me,
For who I truly am,
I’ll never have to change,
He’ll be my perfect man.
