How I Feel

you can't imagine this pain I feel, the lies you told, I thought you were real.
you tell me what you think I want to hear, whispering sweet nothings in my ear.
my heart skipped a naive beat, to the rhythms of the words I've heard so many times before. I know they are lies but I want to hear more.
I want to feel that you love me too 
so I stay here tormented and lost with you.
I don't want to let you go but you've changed so much, you're a person all new.
You put me down every chance you get, and never think of the consequence.
the impact you have, it slices at my sole and leave bruises that never go. 
I'm torn between what is right and wrong and I'm lost and wondering with a broken mind.
all that I was got left behind, in a place I once was, a place long gone and past. 
If I want a new future I must eradicate the last.
I must be free to shine in my light, to bask in its glory and regain my self once more. 
I show myself the way to go, for loving is something you have to sometimes let go.
