Prisoner of Love

I don’t want to be a victim
I’m tired of being used.
Every time I feel something
I feel I’m being abused.

You used me for my money,
my car and for sex.
You charmed your way into my life
and discarded what was left.

I allowed you to hurt me slowly
and do those things to me.
What goes around comes around
one day you will see.

That’s when you’ll truly know
how awful you made me feel.
You’re a master manipulator
who likes to lie, cheat and steal.

The destructive path you’re on
has affected my own life.
Your drug dealings made me anxious
threatening my freedom and life.

I don’t care where you are going
you’ll be traveling it alone.
I can’t let you bring me down
or destroy the life I’ve known.

You, I know, will not change
despite the things you say.
Change is what you really need
you’re going the wrong way.

Goodbye to what I thought we were
it’s important I move on.
You’re married with a wife and child
our relationship can only be wrong.

We had our times together
I’m really glad we met.
But you hurt me and ignored me
in ways I’ll never forget.
