Seeing you love another

Makes my heart feel as if it's been ripped from my chest

I watch helplessly as you continually reach your hand into my chest

Making sure you steal each little piece of my heart

Just to break it time and time again

Just when I think there's nothing left you prove me wrong

You come around just to break me down and watch me fall apart

You bring me to my knees and kick me while I'm down

This continual abuse makes me want to give up

Never to rise again

No hope of ever healing because you won't allow it

You keep using me like your little toy and when you get bored you throw me down again

This game has become my life because it's normal now

You played with me until I was broken then you traded me in for a new toy

I'm alone and I feel like I need you because you're all I know

You're all I allowed myself to know

Sometimes I wonder what my life had been if I had never met you

I begin to wonder if this hurt inside will ever go away

It's always here lurking just below the surface of this smiling face

No one ever sees the pain I feel inside

I cover it up with a shining smile

I try so hard not to care and not to remember you

It's exhausting keeping up the facade so when no ones around I break down

I allow my face to show the hurt I'm feeling inside

The hurt consumes me

All I can do is cry some days

Every time I allow myself to feel for you

Something inside me dies
