You

You criticise
You yell
You tell me I'm worthless
And say I should go to
HELL.

But when we are in public
We just pretend and if I
Embarass you it seems
like the end.

Cos when we go home
You lay into me
And when your done
You say you're Sorry
And then you say it was
All my fault and if I did it
Again I would get it twice
As worse.

By the end of our time
Together I just wasn't there
You stole my heart, my hope,
Spirit and life...
