All In Vain Poem by Faith Elizabeth Brigham

i keep forgiving you
for all the wrongful
things you do
i've prayed and prayed
you would change
your hurtful ways
but baby, it's all
been in vain

sometimes, i cry
myself to sleep at night
with you lying by my side
your back turned towards me
because my feelings
don't matter to you
and our life together
is slowly falling apart

the bottom line is
i'd be better off
without you atleast
for the time being
and as sad as it seems
my leaving you
is just a matter of time
