You built me up, only to tear me down
You put me together, only to break me
You took me in, only to throw me out
You pulled a knife from my back, only to stab my heart
You brought me back to life, only to **** me again
You said you'd always be there, only to disappear when I needed you most
You found me in a state of disrepair, only to destroy what remained

Eyes watching vigilantly through the night.
Ears alert to every little crack and creak.
Scenarios play over and over in my mind.
Safety and security are my priorities.
Sentinel am I.

You're grip on me has finally been broken.
My mind no longer fooled by your illusions.
I no longer hear your sour whispers.
My eyes have been opened to a bright new world.
I am no longer alone.
Hopefully this is our final goodbye.

Sincerely,
A once broken poet.
