Goodbye

What do you see when you look at me?
Why do you brush away what I've worked so hard to sustain?
I am unimportant to you.
You do not see me for what I'm worth
Only what I'm worth to you.
Nothing.

Because of you, I do not see myself for what I'm worth.
Indifference is a skill you've mastered.
I hate that you can affect me this way.
Why do I give in to you?
Your power over me is unyielding and unwelcome
Yet it slams into me from every side
Bruising my body, my confidence, my love....my soul
I hate you.

I need to let you go but you make it so hard. 
I can no longer stand to be something you toy with
I won't be subjected to the whim of your good graces anymore
Graces that are too closely followed by abuse, indignation and hatred.
I'm leaving you.
Good bye.
