Dec 2013
You broke me and you tore me;
Left me shattered on the floor;
You gave my heart hope;
Only to walk up out the door;
You destroyed the girl I used to be;
The one you had helped create;
After loving you unconditionally;
You controlled my fate;
You caused me weeks of endless crying;
And nightmares woke me from my sleep;
Shaking and convulsing;
You where the source of all my screams;
But honestly I want to thank you;
For everything you did;
Cause I finally had to grow up;
And stop acting like a kid;
I leaned on you to be stable;
To get me through each day;
And when you abandoned me;
I had to find my own way;
I built up from my foundation;
You broke me down to;
I shoved away all the rubble;
That was the memories of you;
I can finally keep on walking;
Without my toxic crutch;
And I can finally move on;
My life is not surrounded by my crush;
Now when I hear your voice;
It doesn't melt me from inside;
And I know that though I want you;
I don't need you in my life;
My words might be harsh as glass shards;
But I'm done with child-lock;
Thank you for forcing me to grow up;
Thank you for my hearts shock;
You are no longer my therapist;
You are no longer my gravity;
You can't pull me down or raise me up;
I've been brought back to reality;
You make me laugh and make me smile;
And I admit it is nice what you do;
But I can finally stand up and say:
"My friend, I'm over you."
