Battleship

Battleship

I gave you too much credit for far too long,

I thought that you were different, that you were the one.

But you never saw the tears I cried, or the hurt in my heart when you lied,

The absence of a compliment meant everything I did was wrong.

I heard it all, everyday, nothing was right, if it wasn’t your way…

Now you wonder why I walk away…

You can’t feel my pain, you don’t feel your own emotions,

I held on when I was drowning, now that’s devotion.

I felt myself losing grip, it was you who sunk my battleship,

Now the stories already written,

I’m broken but I forgive you, for my own sake, my own peace mind,

Nothing much ever came from two people being unkind.

Despite my agony, I tried to understand, but you never saw past your own misery.

I never got a word in, you always wanted to be heard, you changed so much,

I don’t recognise you, it’s absurd.

I think that I held onto the image I once had of you,

The laughter in your eyes, when we first fell in love,

To my sad surprise, your kindness died,

And I was left with your shell.

You plunged me into Hell…

You can’t feel my pain; you don’t feel your own emotions,

I held on when I was drowning, now that’s devotion.

I felt myself losing grip, it was you who sunk my battleship,

Now the stories already written,

I’m broken but I forgive you, for my own sake, my own peace of mind,

Nothing much ever came from two people being unkind.

Yes my heart’s worn and weary, my eyes red and teary,

I wanted  so much for you to be, my prince charming,

But I knew maybe this one, is a battle I wasn’t meant to win,

I hope and pray, you find peace one day,

And in my heart you’ll always live.
