WHAT HAVE I DONE?

April 14, 2023

At first, your love was all-consuming

I felt alive, so full of meaning

But slowly, your words turned sharp as knives

Cutting me down, taking away my life

I tried to be strong, to fight the pain

But every day, it felt like I was going insane

Your words were like poison, seeping into my soul

Leaving me feeling empty, alone, and cold

I didn't want to believe it, I denied the truth

But I couldn't ignore the evidence, the proof

You said you loved me, but your actions showed hate

Leaving me to wonder if it was too late

I used to feel beautiful, strong, and sure

But now I feel small, insecure, and unsure

You twist my words, you belittle my dreams

Leaving me feeling lost, torn at the seams

I know I deserve better, I know I'm worth more

But it's hard to leave when I'm so unsure

Maybe one day I'll find the strength to go

To break the chains that keep me down so low

Until then, I'll hold on to my hope

That someday, I'll be able to cope

And find a way to heal my shattered heart

To find the strength to make a brand new start.
