I should've left sooner. I thought I could save you. Heal you. Change you. But while I was trying to fix you, I was losing myself. I gave you a chance, again and again; but things only got worse. The abuse. The manipulation. The gaslighting. It took a toll on my mental health. I kept going back, all you had to say was "sorry" and I was wrapped around your finger again.
But after awhile, I learned two things. 1). You can't change someone who doesn't see an issue with their actions. And, 2). You can't save someone, who doesn't want to participate in their own rescue. I finally realized, you were never gonna change. This is who you are.
No matter how many times you apologize. How many times you try to convince me, things would be different.
Nothing changed. Let's be honest, you never loved me. You never loved me, like I loved you.
I wish I could flip a switch and erase you from my memory. You ruined my life...and I hate you for it.
