Poor Thing

It happens to other people.You say, “How sad.” You say, “Poor thing.”

When it’s you, it’s something else

It’s everything

You’ll never believe the nightmares

You’ll never know the pain you caused

You’ll never see the scars you left

The things you stole, everything I lost

You took my body

Tore it in half

You took my childhood

My heart and my laugh

You took everything I kept for myself

Then you’re gone

I’m not your poor thing
