You Did This

You made me what I am Yet you look at me with bewilderment as I turn to stone Once I was soft, sweet, and full of love Now I hide beneath a hollow shell Afraid to be truly seen by anyone Knowing if they do they will never love me You gave me this armor When you split me into a million pieces You fell in love with the softness that lies in the center But it was you that tore at it until it disappeared And now you wonder where it is And still you expect that same kind of love The love of someone that sees true beauty in the small things You tore that from me As a monster that desires to drown all hope And haunts the dreams of the innocent I long for the time before you All I want is to go back to the person I was Before you suffocated me and stole my light There have been those that deserve that part of me Because of you I can't let anyone in Because of you no one touch the softness that I hide I hate you for that You took apart a piece of me that you never deserved I scream to have it back And all that answers is the dry hackle of who you made me Silly child, love is lost to you forever
