Defeated

I'm giving up now.
You've finally won.
You've convinced me at last
from all that you've done
that you don't really care
how much pain you inflict..
as you continue to act
like a self-absorbed prick.

In spite of the love
and patience she's given,
it's a coldhearted world
you've chosen to live in.
All the laughs, all the smiles,
all the hugs.. now seem wasted
on a foolish ingrate
unaware that he's tasted
a love that will never
be outdone by any other.
A love that your cruelty
will no longer embrace.
A love that will never again
have to feel the disgrace
of loving a fool
who has now been replaced.

I hope you stay oblivious
and you're heart never defrosts..
'cause hindsight will be a bitch
if you realize all you've lost.

So much love was given
yet you continueously gave pain.
So many times forgiven
and warmly welcomed back again.

Well you have finally pushed it
to the point where I feel insane
for having had so much faith
in your power to break the chains
that bind your ability to love
and allow this apathy to reign;
forcing me to now deal
with the sad and horrible shame
of encouraging this alabaster angel
to be patient and try to refrain
from thinking you'd never reach out
for the help that you'd need to attain
a healthy and loving heart..
well, perhaps someday you'll explain
why you could never seem to appreciate
the love you've just ultimately slain.
