-
I gave everything and in return I received nothing from you.
My heart lies beating in your chest next to yours.
My trust was placed into your empty words.
And I put myself in your hands.
The hands that held me ever so perfectly,
Just as they had to the others before me.
Insecurity overwhelms me,
And from you I have no comfort.
The regret begins to slowly sink in.
My world shatters once the reality hits me.
I know not the Lethe to help me forget;
Not even morphine could numb this pain.
The girl staring back at me in the mirror,
I hate.
You claim loneliness,
When I cannot even find a friend within myself.
That blur of time you could have stopped.
I could have regained all sense and sanity,
And stop myself from ever experiencing this feeling.
But no, I was too worried about you,
Not even thinking of myself.
Yet you have broken all your promises to me,
And I broke one that was to myself.
They all lay haphazardly in broken shards scattered across your floor.
When I try to pick them up, they only break more.
I feel myself heading towards a spiral fall, and you watch it all.
You did not even say you loved me.
You treated me just like the rest,
And you somehow want me to believe that I am the best.
For nights, I cried myself to sleep and wrapped myself in guilt.
There was no where to go and no one to turn to.
I was to suffer on my own.
We are now in this broken relationship,
But you have not one scratch.
And here I am completely shattered.
