I cannot fathom what it is about me that caught your interest
When I was far less, and far below all the rest

What made me enticing
What made me desirable
What made you change
Into something downright miserable

Maybe I was good for your ego
Something to show off
Maybe I was there for your convenience
Just barely good enough

You hurt me
Hit me
Kicked me
Casted me aside

When you were supposed to be my safe place
Why was it from you I felt the need to hide

I carry scars
Memories
Demons
Fears

But along with all this I've gained wisdom
Far beyond my years.
One of the things I never got used to
Was no longer hearing the sound of your heart beating in time with mine.

And even through everything
The sad
The happy
The joy
And the pain
I still don't think it was our time

You can argue that I'm wrong
Because I usually am
But they say fight for what you want
Am I wrong to take a stand?

I can't make you love me the way you said you would
But at the end of the day you've gone away and I can no longer remember the beautiful words you said I should.

But that's all they were, words that worked their way into my head
Caressed my thoughts
And pleased my feelings

And when you left, you left me dead.
I wish you knew just how badly you hurt me
I wish i didn't drown it all in other places

— The End —
