Torment
Tortured
Tossed aside

Your words now harsh and painful
Offer none of the comfort
Previously encountered

And just to get you off my mind
I look around my room
See what I can find
A past without a future
False comfort I offered myself
A smile I teased and left upon a shelf…


I tried to hide away
Shield my heart from yours
But every time
You used my feelings to your own gain
And turned your precious eyes
Away from my pain

All I am
All I’ll be
A replacement to you
And naïve to me
Pathetic and used
Hurt and abused
Left alone to live with my mistake
And with those final words to reiterate

Slap in the face
Stab to the back

Loathing my insecurities
That lead me to this conclusion
Loathing her, inside my head
Who tells me that its truth

And though you asked
And I declined
Blame can not lie there
For another’s smile rested within your mind

Now leave me to sob
With memories
That I’m still trying to abandon
To the darkest light
