I tried to be better

But you made me feel worse.

I tried to improve

But you held me back.

I tried to climb up

But you tore me down.

I tried to be enough for you

When you left me

You tore out my heart.

I gave you my trust

And you lied to my face.

From this hole in my chest.

It holds me back

Just like you did

As I try to progress

In my relationships.
