I fell so deeply,

in love or was I lost?

In the eyes of a boy,

who thought he was,

man enough to love,

and cherish a real,

woman, a strong,

woman, who was,

mercilessly broken,

with her pride dragging,

down the street,

it was all for love,

we said, but, it was not,

it was all for your ego,

your deprivation of manhood,

deprivation of trust, loyalty,

and most of all RESPECT,

for years I have blamed,

him for all my shattered parts,

but today, I blame myself,

for the mistakes I let happen,

and for a woman who lets,

a man mistreat her, is to be,

blamed for not stopping him,

it was my love for you,

that kept it going,

but today, its the lesson,

I learned, that is keeping,

Me going..
