[glow=black,2,300]I wrote this not too long ago, as some pieces of my past I've tried to forget came back to haunt me. Comments appreciated.
Like the straw for the camel you've broken my back. Knocked me off my feet, unable to regain my former glory.
Like the early bird I thought I'd caught the worm, but you beat me to it. It slipped right through my beak
You've stripped me to the bone Torn away the meat and flesh Leaving a skeletal reminder of the girl I used to be
And I let you do it. I could have fought harder Should have run away, but you were stronger
You overpowered me easily dragging me down, Your sneer plastered in place, that scarred face haunting me
I remember looking up, catching sight of the moon And begging God to bring it down upon me.
At least that way, I wouldn't have had to endure you I could have died like I wanted to instead of remembering with vivid clarity
You took all of me, you beat me 'till I was torn and bloody You hurt me, in more ways than one. And I can't forget, no matter how hard I try
You had such an easy time, Breaking me, taking me, making me feel vile and used and disgusting. A million showers still can't wash away your sins.
But all these years later, I'm still scrubbing. My skin raw and blistering, trying to wash you away.
Trying to forget. You pushing me, You hurting me, You breaking me[/glow]
