Standing In Silence...

Reduced to tears,
I have nothing left to give.
NOTHING LEFT OF ME!!!!!!!!
Why do you always make me feel like this?
What is it you want from me?
Why do you have to be like this?

My vision is blurry,
And my mind goes numb.
NUMB TO THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
How can you say those things?
I knew I was right…
You never did care….

And like a fool,
I set myself up again.

Only a fool would do it…..

To be walked all over,
And to be broken once more.
The pain is cutting me now…

Deeper and deeper,
Your words cut further,
CUTTING ME!!!!!!!!!!!
My wounds don’t even have a chance,
To try to heal themselves,
You’re too cold and ruthless.

I want to run,
RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘Til my legs collapse,
And my lungs can’t find air.
But these chains are too strong,
And I’m too weak….all over again.

And sadness overwhelms me…and I give up.
The chains go slack, and I sit back,
Against the cold, hard concrete,
And give in to the grief, to the madness,
To all your lies…..’Cuz that’s all you ever were….
But what do you care?...

I feel as if I want to slap you like Cher did to what's-his-name in Moonstruck and shout, "Snap out of it!" lol.
Your write is sad and filled with frustration and anger, I believe at yourself. Change comes from within.

I read this aloud, feeling the anger and frustration.  It became more and more intense as I read.  I hope you'll soon have a pause    
    to heal.
