Intervention


You broke me. Every inch of my essence damaged.Depleted. I am now a shell of what I use to be. But what was I before, before I had you. I was a girl who was goofy and laughed uncontrollably. I was loud, happy and content with me, then I met you. You were my sun, I was your moon. You lifted me when I couldn't pick up my own head and I tried to do the same for you. I changed for you. Hoping that my new found positivity would be everything you needed. I became what I thought you wanted. Someone who cared with every ounce of their soul. Someone who was patient and kind when others would treat you so poorly. I became a better me so that I could love you ,but where does that leave me now? It leaves me here with a hole in my heart. It leaves me here with tears in my eyes. It leaves me here with a hollow space where I once was. So what happened? I thought I was everything you needed me to be. I thought I did everything right, but I was wrong. You can never do enough for someone like you. You take and take until there is nothing. You bend and break every part of my heart for your selfish gain. You dont care about me. You never have. I was just another toy to play with. I never mattered and I still don't. Well at least not to you anyway. I just want to know when will you learn. When will you learn that everything you needed was right in front of you. I wanted to be your everything. I wanted to give you the world. You wanted to be my nothing. You didnt care if I was a different girl. You didnt care that I wanted the best for us. You didnt care that I wanted us to grow old together. You didnt care that I would have done anything in my power to make sure you were okay. You didnt care that I wanted to change your life for the better. I just wanted to ease the burden, loosen the stress, take my time and show you that every one isnt the same. I just wanted to show you that I could be your everything and give you everything you ever desired. But i guess thats not gonna happen no matter how hard I try. I truly wish you would have realized that I am not so bad, though I know im hard to deal with at times. So where do we go from here? Do we try to water the gardens that our love has grown since the beginning of time, or do we just let all this flora and fauna die? I honestly can't decide though I know the answer inside.
