My Painful Truth Part 1
You told me I was beautiful - "
in the beginning of our story.
And though I couldn't see it-
you did all you could to show me.
You told me I was strong.-
Even convinced me I was brave.
Convinced, eventually-
that you meant the things you'd say.
The process wasn't easy,-
see I still struggle to this day.
But you had spoke such love to me-
I saw myself in different ways.
The ways you'd trace my body-
finding beauty in it's flaws.
I started to believe you-
when you'd gaze at me in awe.
You said that you were proud of me-
and you'd list off reasons why.
I embodied your beliefs.-
You made me want to be alive.
Who wouldn't want to be alive-
if all these things were true?
Ignited me with hope,-
invoked some peace within me too!
A safe place, no, a home-
Someone to finally call my own.
I knew then I was loved-
And that I'd never be alone.
But little did I know-
you'd soaked my happiness with lies.
Our love laced with dishonesty-
when you'd look me in my eyes.
You naturally deceived me-
it seems with no effort at all.
You lifted me with words-
despite you knowing that I'd fall.
You'd touched my soul do deeply-
woke the goddess lain within.
Just to find the she-
was merely wasted bone and skin.
You scoffed at those who'd hurt me.-
Said they'd ought to be ashamed.
You said I was worth more-
so why'd you go and do the same?
You told me I was beautiful.-
That I was strong, and loved.
Made me want to be alive-
even though living living in is rough.
even You brought out a hope in me-
(Till) I believed ever single word.
Just to find out otherwise-
Soaked in blood, and endless hurt.
Why did you paint such beauty-
knowing none of it was true?
You held my heart so tender-
Again, betrayed. This time by you.
This tidal waved of hatred,-
don't mistake, it's not for you.
It's solely for myself-
for letting me believe in you.
How foolish could I be?-
