Broken Because of You

You might think you know me

But no one really does

No one knows my thoughts

No one sees what I see

No one’s been through what I have

Does anyone care?

Sometimes I wonder

Are people really blind?

None have noticed the blood stains on my pillow

Stains from memories two years past

Yet no one has asked about them

A memory is all I have left

And I barely have that

You came over to see me

I thought you were searching for forgiveness

I was so mad

You kept things from me, deadly secrets

After I trusted you most

I even risked another love for you

To love you back

I loved you so much

But you didn’t come to apologize

Our angry words flew like knives

I ran away to cry

You followed me

I didn’t want you to

So I slammed the door

You cried out

I had hurt you

I opened the door

Begging my apology

Despite your wounded pride

You swung out in fury

Hit me hard

I felt paralyzed

I couldn’t move

I couldn’t speak

I couldn’t fight you

As you dragged me over

Lay me on my own bed

Blood

My blood spattered on white cloth

I saw the look in your green eyes

A look I’ll never forget

In that moment

I was forced to do something

I’d never thought we’d do

I thought we were happy

I thought we were in love

I thought we had a future

Together

I was wrong

Now I’m broken

After you were done with me

You made sure I was helpless

Made sure I couldn’t do anything

You struck hard

Hoping my mind would go

Blank

Stabbed me hard

I still have scars to this day

You thought I was gone

You ran away with no regret

But I remember you

Even though its blurry

I remember you

I remember your pitiless eyes

As you took a thing from me

I’ll never get back

Oh, I remember you

I never saw you again

I didn’t care to

Are you making other girls

Love you?

Are you making other girls

Happy?

Are you making other girls

Cursed

Yes you heard me

You cursed me

Because of you

I’ll never know love again

Even though my new relationship tries

He can’t open my heart

No one can anymore

Because of you

I’ll never love my own family

Like I once did

Because of you

I once loved you

Now I hate you

I hate you so much

I’ll never move on

I swear I’ll never be the same

All my friends think I’m okay

I’m not

I’ll never be okay

Because of you
