can’t forgive, won’t forget

one year and one month

395 days

9,480 hours

568,800 minutes

that’s how long i let you hurt me

that’s how long i continued to try and see the good in you

that’s how long i went ignoring everyone telling me this wasn’t good for me

you manipulate

you threaten

you don’t stop

your anger festers and burns

you don’t take a minute to stop

it pours out in violent words and broken walls

i told you no more

and you told me i was almost at your level

i’ll let you believe it

but let’s be honest

you know this is on you

you don’t want me around

that’s ok.

i don’t need you.

but let’s make something clear.

i can’t forgive you for all you put me through

and i sure as hell won’t forget it.
