The Only Thing
The Only Thing I was to him was a temporary toy
I was never a real person
One that had feelings and a heart
Just a toy that he can play with and break
Just to put it back together and do it again
To him, I was just something to use till satisfaction was met
That is all I have ever been to anybody
Just something to be used
The haunting words of them saying
“I love you”
And them not meaning it burns
It is cut into your skin
Over and over again
Leaving scars every time they say it and don’t mean it
They mess with your emotions
Till they realize you are committed
Then they pick you up and drop you
So they can see you be broken
They proceed to try and put you back together again
But there is such a thing called a breaking point
And I fear I have hit it
Rock Bottom
Some do not think it's possible to get there just by one
But there have been many
Many heartbreaks
Just to be picked up by the same
Picked up by the one who hurt you
The one who pushed you past your breaking point
To see you crumble
So they can pick you up again
This behavior
They think it's okay
But they refuse to open their eyes
To see the real damage that they are doing
They refuse to believe that this is true
That they did this to you
But it is
It is all true
And they are the ones who truly broke you
