Torn Apart
I’ve let you tear me apart piece by piece
hoping you find something you like.
But you never did.
You tore till you had no more to tear
and then you left me laying in a heap of pieces.
Every part of me broken.
Every part of me was given to you in hope that maybe
Someday
I could be the one to please you.
But I wasn’t.
Now I’m starting to see maybe that was okay.
I watch as you and her laugh
and smile together
I wonder how long it will be
until you end up hurting her just like you did to me.
I wonder how long
How long until you to start tearing her apart
until nothing is left.
And when that day comes I’ll cry for her
because she saw you as perfect. I saw you as perfect.
but you proved me wrong.
I wish to god I wasn’t.
But I guess I should have known not to trust you.
