My Female Abuser

Manipulating, scheming lass How could I let her so, Break me down, and work my thoughts Then watch her grow and grow And as she took my energy And used it for herself I got weaker, down much deeper And suffered with my health Oh, she played a clever game For her, I'd respect and trust Little things I let her do Was cos I wasn't fussed And how she couldn't justify She never took the blame twas always someone else's fault Excuses, always lame Oh yes, I know I've been a fool Trusting words, instead of actions But never once did I expect Bombardments of infractions All's been said that can be said Something in me's died But I least can hold my head up high And walk away with pride And as I follow along life's path Carrying lessons I have learned I hopes she carries a few herself to stop more fingers being burned
