Because of You
I watched you
dismantle my dreams
one
by
one,
kill my ambitions
without a second thought,
and rip my hopes apart
without breaking a sweat.
You destroyed my sense
of self worth,
picked away at my last shred
of love,
and demolished
my goals
in a single step.
I let you
extinguish the fire in my soul,
listened when you whispered
degrading thoughts
into my ear,
and believed you
when you told me
I was pathetic.
Because of you
I still believe
that I am a worthless ball of anxiety
that no one will ever love
because depression
is not something you can hide
under a mask.
Because of you
I have lost myself
and I have no hope
of ever finding who I was
ever again.
Because of you
I have lost enough
to never need another lesson
in heartbreak
again.
