You once made me feel worthless
Slashed my self-esteem in half,
With your sharp tongue,
With those vicious words that cut straight through my delicate soul like knives,
And every night,
My heart bled,

Nor cry,
Nor beat.
And that was when I took out your heart,
and replaced mines with yours.
That was the day,
You died,
And that was the day,
I finally felt   A L I V E.

You could've written on me or left me on the dusty shelves
Instead, you tore out my pages,
dragged me mercilessly to the barren ground,
and ruthlessly burned me to my ashes
But little did you know
that a
