I Want To Know Why

I admit that I thought there was only me,
Please don't ask me why.
I won't tell you it was what you said
To make me feel so undead,
Because without you, I won't die.

All that I want to know is why,
With billions of people in this world,
You decided to hurt only me.
Why you wanted me to believe
That I was the only girl.

Why ignore those who deserve it,
And take MY love, MY will?
Why leave me almost broken,
Thinking you had my heart as your token
From when you went in for the kill?

But I can forget every bit of that,
I can learn from my many mistakes.
What I want to know is why
Did you think that I would die?
Did you think I was yours to take?

I won't reminisce or welcome nostalgia,
I won't live in misery.
It might have taken a day,
To make me feel completely okay.
But honestly, now I'm free.

So why did you think that you won?
I'm only wounded, not dead, from your gun.

I believe in John Lennon because he told me all I need is love, & to me that seems pretty accurate.

....Hopefully You'll Never Look Back....

They say life is a game, But messing with other people's lives is not... It's not fun, funny, or laughable later on. There are those who control by playing a game with the emotions and the mind.

Tears

I woke up in tears, the dream a stark reminder of how much I was damaged. I never used to care about lies, I trusted without fear or doubt.

Forgiveness

For every time you put me down. For every word that stung. For every cruel shout and frown. For every punch you flung. I'll tell the world of my misfortune. I'll tell them what you've done.

Fragile

A bruise from each touch, Words scar your skin, Bleeding from a look. Your fragility defines you, More than it should. When cotton wool and bubble wrap break your skin, How can I protect you.
