What's your prize?

I can tell you right now, you have one YOUR game;
You have hurt me, I've cried..you have no shame.
But what did I do to deserve such distain?
Except love and accept you for all that you claimed.
As time wore on, as the seasons changed;
Your lies became more apparent, my life rearranged.
The man that I thought, I'd waited a lifetime for;
Beraited me with words, and so much more.
And after all I endured with the emotional abuse,
My love held to hope, though there was little use.
I could easily forget all of the bad things you'd done;
When I'd look in your eyes, you crying, claiming I was the one.
I believed and tried to trust in the man you said you could be,
But why must I suffer for your growth, in desperate misery.
I cut the ties, though it broke my heart;
Being without you had always been the hardest part.
I miss what we were, and the good times we had,
But the good can't possibly outweigh the bad.
How can true love repeatedly hurt "your one?"
But there in it lies, it can not be done.
For the love that was intended from God up above,
Requires patience, humility, forgiveness and love.
You have none of those qualities, apparent in your lies;
That unraveled that night, I helplessly looked in your eyes.
And since then you have taken every low and dirty blow;
To punish me from running, how much lower can you go?
You've won the game for now, but God has bigger plans for me;
Growth, self improvement, and hope. Now, I can finally see...
