Pain

You've made my life a hell on earth,
Ever since the day of my birth.
But up until a few months ago,
I could always say that you loved me so.
But now, these days, I'm not so sure,
And both of us are very demure.
I've looked for a scapegoat, or a way out,
All I can do is cry, and shout.
You said you loved me, up until now;
You broke your promise, betrayed your vow.
And nothing anyone will do or say
Will ever take the pain away.
So I lay my head down on the floor,
And you can't hurt me anymore.
