“You have a black heart, you are odd and cruel. I am not your victim nor am I your possession. You did not love me true, for that you know not how to do…You tried to steal my peace and joy.
For a time you succeeded. I saw you for what you are.
I loved you in spite of it all.

I forgive you for the pain you inflicted. I know you know no other way.
I just chose not to stay. Today, I have my peace and my joy.
I have my self-respect, I don't have to listen to your lies and your disrespect. I miss you sometimes, yes. Then I realize the person I miss doesn't really exist. I wish you much peace and joy even happiness. Sometimes I am angry. Sometimes I am hurt but it is easier to deal with it now that you aren't around kicking me into the dirt. I am sorry for any hurt I may have caused you.

Know only I didn't know any other way to react to your abuse.
We are now both free, please learn from all the pain, mine and yours”.
