It takes a certain type of person
One who seems to take a certain delight
In always being right
It takes a certain type of person
Who likes to rend apart the feelings of another
in their goal for appeasing their own low self esteem.
They think nothing of viciously verbalizing,
Attacking with cruel words;
Saying things no other would ever dream of using!
Ripping, Shredding,Tearing down the one they claim they love!
In so doing, do they truly believe they raise themselves above?
Do they ever stop to consider the damage that they do?
Do they get satisfaction by destroying you?
Gasping for breath, totally destroyed and helpless, at the onslaught faced.
Wondering whatever was so wrong to be treated this way?
No explanations,
no reason ever given for the hateful, vicious words
when you truly believed they cared!
Slowly, insidiously, the words creep in and tears worlds apart, bared to the bone,
doing everything to build protective walls
To shut out the horror, to cover over the wounds, to put a stop to the bleeding heart
to end pain and the sorrow,
have hope again for a better tomorrow
but the years pass, and nothing changes
everything stays the same,
there is no loser or winner in this game
it is purely about surviving, coping under this yoke,
day in, day out
Continually being put down,
Verbally abused,
Attacked!
Criticized
Every day a steady drip, drip, drip
Until you begin to believe the words said
No longer understanding what is going on in your head
Doubting every single thing you do
Doubting every single thought you think
Wondering if they are right and you are the person they claim
Their words control, twist and maim!
Such is the power of the one who sets out to destroy
Emotional death is the ending of this cruel and despicable ploy
Mind games is what it is!
I fail to understand their reasoning
What kind of person does this to one they claim they love?
What nastiness is so deeply rooted?
I have no understanding of people such as this,
or the mind games they play!
I want no part of their nastiness sprouting out their mouth at every opportunity
I want nothing to do with their destructiveness,
with them there is only division, no unity!
My choice is to walk away, as from today!
