I know that we basically teach our men (women) how 2 treat us,
when we allow them 2 shit on us,than that's what they'll do.
I'll bet u figure I'm unaware of the fact that I deserve sooo much better (& more) than I get from u,
I know everyone else thinks I am.
Rest assured (especially those who KNOW me),I've never for a moment forgotten,
it's not cuz I doubted my worth that I've stayed ( and maybe to a few there is no difference),
it's hope alone that's responsible for each and every moment I've invested ( 4 the last 1 1/2),
part in hope to one day b able to knock down walls u've built b4 me,
at least I'd hoped 2 at least get back what we'd once been,
I hoped 2 at least get back the potential we once shared.
It's hope that can help us achieve the impossible with love,
but even hope cant incourage us to hold on forever,
I see it may b time to count my losses,
it's possible that the best choice for me now would b 2 pick up my chin,
& proceed to walk away,
ull probably never love me like u ought to,
& that's a large part of why I can't going on this way...
