Who Am I You Ask

i cried out to you 
with my tempo
i gave myself to you
with my emotions
i believed in you
with my feelings
i trusted you 
with my senses
i danced for you
with the rhythm of my beat 
i sung music 
for you
with my melody
i loved you with every ounce of blood in me
i breathed you 
i hungered for you
i made music with you....
perfect harmony
but what happened?
was it enough?
is it ever enough?
you still say you don't recognize me
how can you say you don't know who i am
i gave you my all
and still you stomped on me
ripped me from my environment
laughed at me
wrote jokes about me 
paraded my broken pieces everywhere
you darkened me
changed me
for worse
you stab me with your hatred
you cut me with your un-true stories 
who am i you ask
still laughing
still cutting 
still breaking....
I'm the heart of the person you once said you loved....
will you ever stop?
