Spiraling so desperatelyResultant from your discontentI wish to not have hurt so deepI didn't want these scarsMy self-respect was shatteredThe shards defied repairI wanted everything for youI gave it willinglySo desolate, my bitternessExtends through every breath I takeYour cancer lies within my eyeAffected my perceptionA preacher of such high idealsFalse prophet is your fateYour tongue that stung, your hands that wrungThe spirit out of meI cry because I'm wrought with doubtYour plantings of ineptitudeSo many years of turbulenceUngrounded fear of failureYou said I had no fault in thisYou beg to have forgivenessForgiveness goes to me aloneI wished you'd lose your rageI pray for unrelenting hopeI hope for newfound clarityI clarify my own misdeedsAs petty, insignificantNow free from past transgressionsNew, gentle hands support meI'm broken still, I hope you knowHe hates to see me cryHis patience is so beautifulProtects my fragile self-respectNo longer do I fear myselfMy new strength's inspirationI crawled away from you that dayA crippled girl that hoped to healI've nursed my wounds, and smile againI'm free, I'm safe, I'm stronger.
