Roses and Heartaches

You don't get to make me make you my everything and then leave.  You don't get to make me bare myself to you and act indifferent about it. You don't get to see my soul and still walk away like it was nothing You don't get to see the weakest part of me and walk away like you don't see me breaking to pieces You don't get to make me love you and not treat me like I should be treated.  You don't get to give me a taste of what I've been missing out on and pull out the rug off from under my feet.  You don't get to leave me hanging freely, falling with nothing to break the fall and no one to catch me. You don't get to give me a taste of extraordinary and watch me go back to ordinary. You don't get to wield so much power over me You don't get to turn me into this staggering mess and expect me to be fine You don't get to fall in love with me and fall out of it as quickly just because... No, you don't get to leave aft...

She used to be that broken girl Always seeking validation from you Always waiting for the next lies you'd spew The girl that worshipped at your feet, feeding on the crumbs of the hurtful words you carelessly threw Shackled by a lack of self worth Imprisoned in the illusion of not being good enough Hating herself for being so good to you even when she knew you were underserving of her: but that was yesterday. She used to be that girl that constantly wanted to matter that was crazy for your attention that would do anything for you even if it tore her into pieces. The broken girl that looked like a husk of herself, the one fed up with life, the one with trust issues, that one that holds everyone at bay and has built a fortress around herself She used to be that girl. But she's not anymore. Because that girl has grown; she now understands her worth, she now knows that she doesn't need any validation from anyone, she forgave herself and rose above the hurt,...

You claimed to love me; Yet I was so easily dropped Couldn’t you have at least tried carrying me just a little bit longer? I guess I was too much of a weight you couldn’t wait to discard. You made so many promises I basked in the glory of your lies I worshipped the words you spewed I believed in us I adored the wrongs you did me That’s how much I was hooked on you. Like a butterfly to nectar you had your fill of me and then you needed a new flavour. I’m still here, I still glow, Even with the scars I stare at them every day They have become my halleluyah. Theres still sadness in my eyes I still see no light I feel like I have no more fight in me. So, wilted as I am i’m still hoping your lies will become truth Call me hopeless theres nothing romantic about this Somehow I believe you will wander again Into my arms And I’ll be here to receive you Wholeheartedly and love you Like you never even left.
