What Happened

What happened to the person I use to be?

I seem to have misplaced her, where could she be.

I only see the outer shell where I use to dwell.

I don't recognize the person I see looking back at me.

The person I see is distant, lonely, unhappy and mad.

Nothing like the person I use to be, and that's sad.

As secure as I use to be I let my heart influence me.

The relationship I am in now I really wanted to work,

 But it looks like he may end up being a jerk.

When I am away from him and feeling hurt,

My head and mouth do most of the work.

But when I see him look at me, I forget what I said would be,

And then only want him close to me.

He gets what he needs from me, then turns into the one I hate to see.

This roller coaster ride of emotions has taken a toll on me,

My heart is damaged and my self esteem is on empty.

Manipulation is the word I use to describe what he dose,

To get me to do what he wants me to.

And then when he is through, I always end up feeling used.

In retrospect I can see how I lost most of my self respect.

I must get out of this rut if I don't no telling where I will end up.

I have to leave this life behind or I might lose my mind.

Then maybe I will find out what happened to that person I use to be.

And finally see he was the problem not me.
