I Am Leaving You

I petrify in your mind and waste away in your hands. I was given to you fresh - brand new - But you took me and did your do. I was used, taken for a fool, and abused. I loved you and was always wrongfully accused. The kicks, the punches didn’t hurt as much as your words. Just one, “beautiful” or one, “I love you” would have been enough. I am not worthless, not ugly... But I am too good for you. I am priceless, royalty, deserving of a royalty too, And this is the reason that I am leaving you… Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis
