You Broke Me


You broke me

Threw me to the

Floor

Let me

Shatter

Glass everywhere

Yet I came

Back

And wanted to

Stay

You were fire

I got

Burnt

I got ice

And I came

Back

To get burned

Again

I thought you

Were an escape

You were

Not

You were

Bad

Very bad

You hurt me

Broke me

Burnt me

I cried

You screamed

I dodged

Your hits

You kicked

I gave in

You walk on

Me

I'm a carpet

Your doormat

I want to be strong

To get up

To leave

But I can't

This is my fault

I'm not worthy

I deserve this

Don't I
