I Hope You'Re Happy

I hope you're happy with everything you've achieved.
How does it feel to know you absolutely destroyed someone?
How does it feel knowing you tore down everything she worked so hard to build?
Does it make you happy, knowing she looks in the mirror and questions why someone was so determined to ruin her?
Does it thrill you to the core that you're the one that broke her? Not just her heart, but her body and mind.
Do you find joy in the fact that you stole hers?

When you moved, she flinched, unsure of whether you would be kind or cruel.
When you spoke, she closed her eyes, knowing your words would cloud her eyes.
When you hurled insults at her, she visibly shook, wondering when the verbal hurt would become physical.
Your voice became toxic to her body.
She broke herself trying to please you.
She was never pretty enough, she was never right.
She never listened, she never did a thing for you.
You poisoned her view of herself and you made her believe she will never be good enough.

God, I hope you're happy.
I hope you're happy and free.
Because she's broken and weak. 
And it's all because of you.

Don'T Fall In Love

Don't Fall In Love.

It will seem sincere,
Honest and true.
But in the end
You'll be broken too.

Stay away from them,
The silver-tongued snakes
Because love isn't worth it,
Don't put your heart at stake. 

Face of an Angel,
Heart of a demon,
Don't fall in love
Or you'll regret what you're feeling.

Save yourself the trouble,
Heartache and pain.
They'll put up a front of sunshine,
Though they're nothing but rain.

Don't fall for their words,
False promises, and lies.
They'll ignore all your problems
And ignore all your cries.

So whatever you do,
Remember your value.
Don't put up with anything less,
Because your life will continue.

I warned you before 
And I'll warn you again
Don't fall in love 
Or you'll wish you were dead.

Forgot

How you looked at me.
Your fingers intertwined with mine.
The sound of your heart beating against my cheek.
The way your fingers brushed my tears away.
The happiness you made me feel.
The security I felt in our love.

The hesitation in your voice.
When you lied to me.
The "I'm sorry."
When you told me it was the biggest mistake of your life.
When you told me you just wanted me to be happy.

I almost forgot.
Just like how I almost forgot this loneliness;
This intense sadness and heartache;
This feeling of hopelessness.

Instead, the only thing I forgot
Is why I deserve love and happiness;
Understanding and unity;
A sense of belonging.

I forgot that and instead I want to forget you.
