Pain

That’s all I feel lately.

Regret. Shame. Loneliness.

That’s all I feel lately.

I hang my head.

My heart aches.

My stomach turns.

My sobs quake.

I remember a time when he would whisper sweet nothings.

Now I cant forget how he screams venom.

He stares at me with hate.

I have done nothing.

His issues. Guilt. Frustrations. Emotions.

All taken out on me

In a sea of fury.

I try to empathize.

I try to understand.

I try to comfort.

I try to be everything that you need

Yet ignoring my own needs.

At what point is this just insanity?

I try and help and you push and yell.

I fight FOR us and you. fight. me.

I build you up and you tear me down.

I comfort when you are in need

And yet I am left to hug myself

Wipe my own tears

While you mock me..

When do I say enough is enough?

When do I give up on love?

When does a man go from someone I love to my past?

When does a man become a monster?
