Broken
It started in the womb
Which should have been my tomb
No money but there was drugs
Turned into no love, and no hugs
Lied to my whole existence
Manipulation with persistence
Needed but not wanted here
I just wish to disappear
Have I always just been a doll?
Have you always just sat there and watched me fall
Fall into you again and again
If it's ever going to stop i don't know when
With your strings on my soul, you pull on my heart
Why do you live to tear me apart
I don't even know who you are
A million face but you don't go far
The guy you loved responded to my "no" with a thrust and a shove
He whispered sweet nothings into me ear
But they were something I hated to hear
He turned love into a weapon and affection to a gun
I was just so broken but i couldn't run
Each sweet word that passed my ear
Became a bomb and now i'm a minefield
The pain y'all cause never stops, never yeilds
You stole a part of me I'll never get back
Took it so swiftly, without a trail to track
You took my innccence, you took my pride
You took everything i was my childhood died
I still don't know who or what you are
So many faces, each left their scar
Flashback memories during day and nightmares during sleep
In days broken down to exhasted to weep
I have marks on my thighs, scars of a battle i can't win
You broke my spirit, so i broke my skin
What else to do when you're falling apart
No weapons to fight back against the virus in my heart
