Tonight
Do you really want to say goodnight?
Just hang up the fucking phone
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Just go away and leave me alone
Do you really want to say goodnight?
I can't take this anymore
Do you really want to say goodbye?
I don't want you anymore
Because you're weak, because I'm strong
Because I can't stand to get along
Because you're you, because you're here
I can't pretend to love you my dear
And tonight I walk away
You can't keep asking me to stay
For all the lies and all the years
I won't stop or heed your tears
Do you really want to say goodnight?
Just hang up the fucking phone
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Just go away and leave me alone
Do you really want to say goodnight?
I can't take this anymore
Do you really want to say goodbye?
I don't want you anymore
Every second I'm with you
Is another moment of abuse
Every time I say your name
It tastes of anger and shame
So tonight I walk away
There is nothing more to say
Do you really want to say goodnight?
Just hang up the fucking phone
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Just go away and leave me alone
Do you really want to say goodnight?
I can't take this anymore
Do you really want to say goodbye?
I don't want you anymore

I like how this poem is structured as lyrics with the repetition of the chorus coming before the verses.
Feels like the catharsis here is moving toward being intolerant of this former Jekyll/Hyde who has manipulated your emotions in the past. You are saying "NO MORE."
This is really good so long as you let it out and don't hold onto any anger within yourself. If you do, that anger can become dangerous: In my own personal experience, I will shift the anger (and blame) back on myself and then it turns to depression.
Anger works differently in everyone, but don't keep it in. Keep writing it out! :)
