Death of a Relationship

Oh, the times I have regretted leaving you Thinking about what I would do differently, Wracking my brain for a better solution To the problems that caused your bitterness Eventually leading to my giving up on you. Came the time when I could no longer abide Your volatile and temperamental malignity Which made my life insufferably unbearable, So, I left behind the good times, and I fled For my sanity, hoping to make a better life Unfettered with nastiness and spitefulness, Keeping in mind “beauty is only skin deep,” How it takes two to make a relationship work.
