When I said, I love you, I was so very wrong
I never knew that you would stalk me for this long
when I said, I hate you, I didn’t mean that too
but I was wrong when I thought I’d fallen in love with you
now I see what was your game and I hope that you feel shame
as that would mean there’s hope for you to never do that what you do
you might be smarter, fitter, stronger but now it’s done I’ll grow stronger
I might get stuff wrong, but one things for sure
I won’t do that, knock on your door
so it’s Goodbye to the toad, who I thought was a prince
I was naive, took some time to convince
I know the whole truth and so do you
the one true witness, my abuser, is you
The moment of truth in an abusive relationship is intelligently captured by the poet in this powerful poetic expression
