Self Broken Promises

When you're spent fighting in a relationship against one who is so controlling, that you have no other choice but to let them go.

I take the curse that you have inflicted upon me
Before your eyes, I feed it to the lions
In the den of doom you've created for yourself
So they may devour the pain forever to oblivion
No longer will I fall prey to your game

......These tears that fall are only of sadness and regret
Saddened am I, of promises self broken
And regret ever believing, or giving any piece of my heart to you

When I walk away
Just let me go
I will no longer wait for you anymore
Putting my life on hold
Like a trial waiting for death

......These tears that fall are only of sadness and regret
Saddened am I, of promises self broken
And regret ever believing, or giving any piece of my heart to you

Disappointed in myself
For ever believing again
For opening damn near my everything
Only now I come to find
In a different way I was repeating
NO MORE

......These tears that fall are only of sadness and regret
Saddened am I, of promises self broken
And regret ever believing, or giving any piece of my heart to you

Now the only way I can trust again
Is to free these shackles
Break free finally
Breathe and scream
I JUST WANT TO BE ME
and BE HAPPY

No one should be controlled by another, then they lose their dignity and trust once it is taken advantage of. We are all able to be okay with ourselves, but it doesn't help when others take over and tell us what to do or how to run our lives according to their wants and needs. Then we are simply puppets on a string, giving them what they want and us being left in the dust with nothing but sadness and a broken body. We should be able to stand up for ourselves and tell others who we are and for them to accept it without a problem. Obviously, the world doesn't work that way and many take advantage of this option whenever it is presented with no boundaries.
