she allowed this to be...

he yo-yos her feelings with no regard...
playin cruel games with her heart...
he's off scorin another notch...
while her pain is tearing her apart...

she waits for him yet again...
he swaggers in bad as can be...
she knows what he's been about...
disrespect a scent he wears proudly...

somewhere she misplaced her own worth...
foolish hope keepin her with this man...
she taught him how to treat her by tolerating...
he's an ass just because he can...

she had made him her reason...
and forgotten her own rhyme...
she let him mistreat her...
and make her his victim, time after time...

responsibility a double edged sword...
the hand must close tight around the blade...
she must make a choice now...
even as she watches her light fade...

her life is better lived alone...
she must take courage and this truth embrace...
she must take back her power...
her mirror stands ready for her to face...

face herself, face her fears...
face that she allowed this to be...
peel away the layers of how and why...
only then will she truly be free...
