You Give Me Something

you give me something 
 to believe in 
 something to love 
 something to adore 
 you say you won't break me down 
 but you lied 
 you return 
 and I am broken down 
 into a million pieces 
 crying in my corner 
 you return 
 and build me up again 
 and the cycle begins
 over and over

Painful cycles like you have described so well in your poem are very difficult to break. ..either together or alone.
