Don'T Run Back To What Broke You

You broke me when I wanted to be free. You broke me more than anyone sees. Trauma created loss, I had to hit pause... on life, because continuing hurt worse than a knife to my chest, you tried your best to destroy me. Your reach was further than it seemed, you touched me with ease. You poisoned my soul, you dug me a hole, so down I fell everyone could tell. I felt like a sell out, like I'm an alcoholic and you're too stout. So intense, you're a true menace... to society, but you were my remedy for so long. I was so wrong to trust you, say it's not true, how bad you tore me, wide open and planted a seed. I screamed, I tried to flee, you held me down and watched me bleed.
