Destroyed

Like a ghost
I walk through memories
        Of my past
Wondering why I let you destroy my life
    Commanding me to give up
     All that I am 
     All that I love
You stripped away my self-esteem
  And left me standing before you
         Broken and used
         You made me cry
    Just to watch the tears
      Fall from my eyes
My heart is bleeding and raw
      Afraid to trust  
       I back away
    Not letting anyone in
   Don't get hurt that way
