Habits

Why is it 
I ask myself
I always go back

Infatuated by the quest
Of those who see me
As nothing more 
Than a grain of sand 
Being hurdled against the shore
By their breaking waves
 
Taught too young
That this is love
I can’t seem to escape
The habits of a broken girl 
Looking to mend  
In the those who will only brake her more
