fauxcroft

Your gaslighting ways

They pushed me away,

Now I stand and gaze

At this empty space,

That was our home

Your abuse of me,

Bordered on obscene

Why did you feel,

That it was fine

To do this to me,

Did you believe,

That I would

Always suffer this,

Well you were mistaken

And now in this dimly lit,

Place that we called home

I am now alone,

But as hard as it is

I am worth more than this,

Your gaslighting ways

Broke my heart every day,

But I remain strong enough

To walk away from it,

Because you became so toxic

And of the things I’ll miss,

Your abuse of me

Is not one of those things,

And now I am free

You never will get the best of me,

You tried hard to destroy

Every piece of my self belief,

But I’ve still found a way

To retain the love in me.
