Boyfriend

You were the only one who 
could help
You were the only one who 
cared,
Id take powerful blows to my 
emotions
as he would watch me slowly 
fall to my mercy,
No one besides you could ever 
do this much for me.

I'm only a whore,
A ****,
No one besides you will ever 
love me
No one will ever give me this 
much.

Who else would choose who I 
could befriend?
You have to love me more than 
life itself 
to ever do this to anyone.

Your depression caused 
problems for you
So I was the punching bag,
I was blamed for everything 
growing up
Why couldn't you do it?
