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
But this could never be.
When you left me
You tore out my heart.
I gave you my trust
And you lied to my face.
I struggle to heal
From this hole in my chest.
It holds me back
Just like you did
As I try to progress
In my relationships.
They were so awful to me,
And yet
They seemed to care.
They manipulated,
Twisted,
Hurt,
And destroyed me.
And yet I can't
Seem to let them go.
Even knowing
How badly they could
I'm scared.
I can't believe we're here
Again.
I can't believe this is reality
Again.
Four years
They say.
It's only four years.
But it's four years
Of a living hell for me.
They laugh
The sorrow I know
Is like no other.
It is too deep
Too raw
Too real.
And as I stand here
Within its everlasting clutches
I find little bursts of hope.
And these little burst of light
