My biggest mistake is you

My mistake

I’ve made a lot of mistakes

But you…you were my biggest

From the beginning it was wrong

You cheated you lied but still I stayed

Always made me think I was wrong

Convincing me I needed you

Acting like you were the only one who understood me

I see now how full of shit you were

I always had doubts about us

I let you hurt me so many times

Gave you all the power

You made feel I was weak

Reminding how you saved me

Problem was I needed saving from you

You held me down

Keeping me under your thumb

Twisting who I was until I was lost

Conveniently you were always there to help find me

But it wasn’t me it was that you wanted

You just needed someone to cling to

I happened to be the stupid one for staying

You tore me down

Always pushing me to the edge

For a while I thought you were right

Didn’t think I could survive without you

Came to believe I wasn’t strong enough

But from you I learned a lot

You showed me how deceitful people can be

The way they will manipulate you for their gain

You put your fears on me

You were the one who couldn’t make alone

Cause since I left you behind

Things are getting better

I’m getting my life back

Taking back all you took from me

Making up for all those years wasted on you

So many times I tried to end it

But you always found a way to keep me there

Then one day you went too far crossed the line

 I realized that day it had to end

That there was nothing left

The only good thing that came from our union

Is my 4 beautiful children

In the end they are reason I stayed so long

So thanks for them

And fuck you for everything else
