Damaged


Love is such a beautiful thing Something to be marveled at Such a rare bloom She was a hopeless romantic who wanted love so badly she couldnt tell it wasnt love Rescued in your loving arms from a different man who left me broken and abused You took care of me so well Afternoons of presenting roses at my feet I love you's Fancy dates Lovely days But then the change came, oh so slowly Roses were replaced with lies Lovely days were replaced with threats Silent treatments Something was in it for you behind closed doors Locked doors... You wore that ring like it meant something I still dont know what I did to deserve this Harsh words seared into the core of my heart Nine months later there is a completely different human in front of me But are you even human? Who does that? You did to me what she did to you... I tried to pick you up and help you heal but you used me same as him You're no savior My stomach churns when I see your messages Someone I would have died for slowly killing me and I can still feel it It hurts so bad There is a weight on my chest when I wake up every morning and its getting heavier...its suffocating me... But you dont care I cry until my lungs ache and I pass out. Tear stained pillows and cheeks. Why is he making this so hard? This is not love But you turn it around on me That I brought this on myself But I'm too smart, I know I didn't Its too bad I didn't see it earlier Because you never loved me
