I’m tired of being here,
constantly reminded of you.
Your voice haunts me everywhere I turn,
your shadow lurking being every corner.
Wounded, broken, no more tears left to shed.
You left me here, a mess,
what was left when you got through.
Bound here by my bandages and sorrows,
I remain bleeding,
bruised,
hopeless.

You take for granted what I do for you,
taking your hits and fighting your battles,
never once backing down.
I’m a captive of this chaos you’ve left me in,
alone to sort out right from wrong.

I’ve been fighting to get away,
to break these heavy chains with which you bound me.
As though I need reminding,
the scars still show,
raw and still going deeper.
Your soul still resides here,
disturbing my relentless thoughts.
I realize now I’ve always been alone,
always been lied to,
never been loved.
I tried to tell myself you’ve gone away,
but my mind won’t allow me peace,
always reminding me you’re still here.
Broken promises, tortured mind, betrayal.
