Can’t breathe
Can’t think when we were happy
We were normal

You lied
And now the tables have turned
In your favour

You left
You feel satisfied—you’ve won
Your ******* game

Broken
That’s how I’m left—feeling used
And you don’t care

Destroyed
The last part of my soul-gone
Now so are you

She
Lays alone
Crying, dying inside
Her inner demons eat her away

Curled
In a ball
On a *****, hard bench
With no idea how she got there

Crowds
Walk past her
Pay her no attention
Or even see her look of despair

He
Looks at her
Concern there in his eyes
Moves through the crowd, rushes to her side

She
Looks up, afraid
So much internal pain
Flinches at his touch, begs leave her be

He
Cannot leave
He insists to take care
And brings her home with him that December night

She
Is thankful
Rests in his bed tonight
The safety of his care protects her

He
Is thankful
That he found her that day
She’s now safer than she’d ever be

In
This city
She could have died that night
But his actions saved her life

They
Are both safe
In one another’s arms
Reaching for hands, yet touching their hearts

Defeated.
I can’t win.
Only lose.
I sink
Lower.
Deeper.
Each try.

Defeated.
I’m empty.
Not upset,
Nor angry,
Hollow.
Drained.
I’m empty.

I’m still alive

Sobbing,
Aching,
Screaming,

Even though I don’t feel like it

Bleeding,
Bruised,
Broken,

I’m weakened, inside and out

Sickened,
Twisted,
Abused,

I thought I could lean on you for support

Lied,
Acted,
Cheated,

You tore me down, tore me apart

Ridiculed,
Discriminated,
Insulted,

I can’t handle this anymore

Contemplation.

I don’t have the courage to walk out the door

Suicidal.

Helpless, stranded
Branded without your wings
Fallen angel
Just threw it away

Fallen victim
To the evil in the world
Oh, so eager
To do something wrong

Downwards spiral
Into drugs and drinking
Can’t recover
From what you’ve chosen

Say you’ll quit
But go on like before
Do it again
Break everyone’s trust

You’ve lost your chance
To prove that you’ve changed
You said you had
An obvious lie

You loved me first
But when that flame dissipated
I was left burning,
Longing.

Your love,
So passionate
Kept my heart fuelled
Forever.

The day you stopped loving me
I was empty
You pulled the plug
Hollow.
