No more hurt for me.

Why did you leave me alone all the times? I was there for you when you needed me.                                                                                                                                                         You told me you loved me was that a lie?                                                                            I tried to be the one who you loved but no it’s not enough because I’m just a waste of time. Why, Why did I have to be the one you would take advantage of?  No I’m not perfect but I tried to be the one who would be there to dry your tears whenever you cried.                                             I was you’re stone you’re shield.

I tried to be the angel who would save your life but no I was just a dust that you would brush off.

My heart sang when you told me I was the one I believed it all but it was just to be the part of your play. Did I listen to my friends who told me to stay away from you? No! I pushed them away and treated you with everything I had only to have the door slammed in my face.

I tried to be someone you wanted me to be but it was not enough. How could I be the song you would never listen to? Because I was not that girl that you wanted. Was my love not even what you wanted? I guess not because I had to be that fool who would fall for it all.

I was just a music box doll that broke off and shattered. Funny isn’t it? I had to be that shattered glass that you smashed with your own bare hands and threw me away like tapestry. Now I put my head down in shame due to the part of the play you directed. No roses just fruit thrown at me and me being told to get off the stage because I was not the star they wanted.

I noticed you didn’t keep the love songs I wrote to you that said that I would fight for you and win the war. I can’t be the girl you tried to bring me up to be I’m not perfect, just human.

I had to be that happy go lucky girl that loves everything that you do and pretend everything’s ok because that’s what you want and what I want don’t matter to you. I’m the fool to be laughed at and picked on.

I cry and cut knowing I’m not enough and I just want to feel numb.

I burn my arm just to feel that numbness but no look where I’m at? I’m in six feet underground beneath your haunted house where everything went down. I was supposed to be your one and only.

Why do I have to be the dummy on your lap and do and say things you want me to?

 I’m the victim and you’re the killer.  You’re the devil in disguise who likes to take souls away from innocent humans.

I stayed on the side of the road just waiting for you to find me and my soul. I stayed on the safe side so I couldn’t get hurt but I end up getting hurt anyway.

It’s about time I showed you who you’re messing with. I’ll be the name you’ll scream and curse I’ll be that shadow that will haunt you in your dreams. I’ll never stop until you finally see what you did to me. You’ll call for help but no one will hear you like no one heard me because you made me suffer.                                                                                                  I’ll never let you be that burden on my heart because I know that I am not a mistake I’m just the lesson that learned. You’ll be the trophy that shines in the dark I’m done running, so what do you say we end this once and for all?


The author's comments:

I once dealt with a terrible relationship that ended up making me realize that I didn't deserve the treatment I was getting. I also realized that the person I thought loved me ended up not caring anymore. So, I made this poem for not only him but for the people who hurt me.
