Even when you tried your best to love me you berated, I gave all the love I could and you laughed at my feelings while they died on the floor inbetween us from never being reciprocated. I stood through it all bewildered and gullible enough to believe I was the problem and to this day I am grateful you loved me wrong because from it I learned how to love me right. And I walk away from your heart's house rules insearch of one who loves with honesty and without fear, with a willingness to love sincerly and bravely and with equal humilty and after all the years and thoughts of you have passed and your words have become a long dissapated sound unable to haunt me like some poison I long ago inbibed, I sit serene with my righteous one smiling, for in spite of you, I have survived.
