Ex: for a reason



Crinkled and cut
Broken til bust
Left with no crust
I caved into you
Down in despair
No empathetic care
Morsels of pity
Rude awakenings
never ending
I fell to pieces
Lost myself to be seen
I got the attention...
And then you came back to end it
I got good loves
Good vibes
Trust and support
So you threw out the knife
I fell backwards

I fell forwards 
I took the knife and said it wasn't yours
I carry the greif
What a "whack job she is"
Because the love was unconditional
And I can or cant love someone the same again?
Broken and bruised
Misled and confused
Knowing you'll just use
So why do I do this
