Your defeat is your victory
If all you give is loveand in return get only humiliation,
thanklessness, annihilation and intended murder,
you can not give him a second chance,
you can't return to your humiliation,
but you must leave everything behind
for your own sake and for your self-respect.
The perpetrator, in insulting and destroying you,
has only caused himself unending harm,
his self-inflicted wound will go on bleeding
with a pain and stain he never can get rid of,
while you will survive by only leaving him.
My marriage ended thus in total shipwreck,
but he only wrecked himself, a sorry miserable ruin,
while I still go on and never even pitied him.
It's not lack of compassion or unhuman heartlessness,
it's common sense and only natural.
If someone ruins everything you had together
and destroys you, he has only killed himself,
and there is nothing you can do to help him.
