Break this thing called love

For the sake of my seed, I loved you, but your love broke me dislocated shoulder. you said sorry, it was the liquor I loved you, but the wall also loved me because I found myself constantly slammed into it you said you'd control it. and I loved you. because its was hard being alone I loved you, even when you said my scars were ugly you forgot you put them there, but I only loved you now for the sake of our vows I loved you, and i walked on eggshells, so as not to break your wrath or even cross your path. but i loved you, now for the sake of your child i carry.

I need to confront myself with the truth for what I really am. A lying two faced cheat. Pretending to like things he does just to make him happy. I'm a liar. And I'm a cheat. I'm cheating my self out of happiness just so a man can fucking stay in my life. Is this what love and affection has reduced me to ?
