i don't understand what part of me
is responsible for continually giving
you chance after chance, when
every single time you never
fail to prove:

i) you will never change
your poison is forever
part of you and you will never
give it up for it has intoxicated
you to your core and like
a drug you are addicted

ii) you are not deserving
of my time and patience
and effort
you are not deserving
of me
and i would be better off
with anyone else
but you
because they at least
would treat me like i am
human

iii) you will never listen
or learn
no matter how many times
i try
because deep down
a manipulative coward
is all that you are
and i am a fool for trying
to find beauty in you
