Venomous lies
Drip through my ears
Reverberate in my skull
Reminding me of who
YOU
Really are

Scars litter my mind
While yours is clear
No shame, no doubt no fear
What we had was a joke
Stringing me along
Until you were done

Your heart is stone
Toying with everyone’s emotions
Acting on instinct
Never looking back

I gave you so
Much of me
Did you even care?
Was any word or emotion real
Or was it a facade
To build US up
So you could
Break ME down?

I can’t remember now
Why I trusted you for so long
Unanswered questions will
Forever linger

I am
Stronger
Now than I was before
I won’t be broken by the
Memories you left anymore
A long time ago (2012) I wrote a poem and this is an edited version. Making this separate because I still like the old one, but what do you think of this?
