In Reality

In Reality...

I can look back,
And I can remember
The way that you would kick him
Under the table.

In Reality...

I can look back,
And I can remember
The way that you would pelt me
With eyes of warning.

In Reality...

I can look back,
And I can remember
The way that you would hurt me
Whether it was with words or physical pain.

In Reality...

I can look at you now,
And I can see you hiding
Behind him,
Behind his money.

In Reality...

I can look at you now,
And show my forgiveness,
Because you are a coward,
Hiding behind your method of survival.

In Reality...

I can look at you now,
Because no matter how much you hurt me,
I know that I can hurt you more
And I know that I can destroy you.

In Reality...

I can look at you now,
And know that I am better than you,
That you have made me strong,
And yourself completely worthless.
