I tried opening my eyes, All I saw was a teary-eyed blur. I couldn't see your deceiving smile. I couldn't see your alluring blackhole eyes. I was blinded from all the tools you used to lure me into your trap. My loud wails overpowered every lie you could ever tell. And the salty taste of my tears, erased all memory of the taste of your lips. The excrutiating pain on my chest, and my extreme pants for air, killed all the butterflies I'd felt for you. In that moment, when everything that led me to you was blocked out, I was able to finally look into myself and realise my own worth. The scars and bruises you left all over my body, Shall forever be a reminder never to let a man like you back in my life. Crying saved my life.

How crying saved my life.
I tried opening my eyes, All I saw was a teary-eyed blur. I couldn't see your deceiving smile. I couldn't see your alluring blackhole eyes. I was blinded from all the tools you used to lure me into your trap. My loud wails overpowered every lie you could ever tell. And the salty taste of my tears, erased all memory of the taste of your lips. The excrutiating pain on my chest, and my extreme pants for air, killed all the butterflies I'd felt for you. In that moment, when everything that led me to you was blocked out, I was able to finally look into myself and realise my own worth. The scars and bruises you left all over my body, Shall forever be a reminder never to let a man like you back in my life. Crying saved my life.
