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