the unknown realm of insanity

Cries I still can hear,
At night come alive.
Without you I live each day,
Just barely getting through.
I now live without your companionship,
I drag myself through the days.
Now come forth,
And torment my soul.
Watch over me,
Wait until I let my guard down.
Then you attack,
At your earliest convenience.
Lie to my face,
Or even push me to the ground.
Anything except use me,
But that’s exactly what your doing.
Do I look like a toy to you,
Easy and fun to play with.
Enjoyable at the moment,
But doesn’t even matter the next.
I guess,
You always have something better to do.
Take everything I believe in,
And fool around with my heart.
Stop it,
It isn’t funny.
But you think it is,
So you just keep right at it.
I am a fool,
For letting you get away with this.
My heart will learn,
One would hope so.
What you did to me,
Was just as bad as murder.
Am I a joke,
Or do you take me seriously.
I’m sure you didn’t mean to hurt me this much,
How do I possibly know that.
I don’t,
And it scares me.
You’re honest one day,
And my worst enemy the next.
I’m so confused,
I don’t know what I should do.
I want to leave you,
But will I really do that.
I don’t think so,
I’m not strong enough.
If I say one wrong thing,
I’ll be in trouble.
So I think I’ll sit here pretending I could care less,
Because I don’t want to enforce an army.
I try my hardest to be good for you,
It seems like I’m never good enough.
Will I ever be good enough,
Or will you act like this forever.
I won’t ever have faith,
Because I already lost you.
To pain and sorrow,
Is what I’ll drink to now.
So go out and have fun,
I’ll be here in the corner crying…

I thought you expressed confusion very well in this one, juxtaposing hopes and fears, faith and lack thereof effectively. As for a title, can I suggest..."Childhood Toy" possibly. Not sure tho, I bet you could probably come up with a better one so I shall shut up now!! (Well at least I tried!!). Laters. Luv, Liz xx
