All that's left of me

by finley-pietersen

If you play with fire, you will get burned. It happened to us once, it'll happen again. The story is written in tears, forget a fucking pen. My middle name has ruined me, taken all I've known My life, my world, my queen and my thrown. Forever cursed a prince, in a kingdom once mine. Emotions, tears and nights alone wasting time. I won't let this make me second best. Forever failing the ultimate test. Why can't it be me? I have so much to offer? Why can't it be me? I have so much to give? Why can't it be me? Its a reason to live? Why can't it be me? It was rightfully mine. The most dangerous man, one with nothing left to lose. The most dangerous man, one with nothing left to do. I ask myself questions, will you give me the answers? You're the only one that can save me with second chances. Credit is due where credit is due. I'm so undeserving and alone, I wish I had a clue. I should of given up, i should of given in. I stayed strong for too long and now I won't break. I am what I am, but I'm not what I see. A million tiny pieces on the floor is what I want to be. OCHNCP That's all I was that's all you'll see. And so a broken child is all that's left of me.

I was fourteen or fifteen and the 'love of my life' ex girlfriend at the time had been seeing her ex partner and I got wind of this. This is how I felt as a result of what I thought wouldn't happen. It feels really relevant to me right now. Not the circumstances but the feeling of worthlessness and not being able to get what I want so badly.      Feel me?
