You broke me
In every way possible
You choked me
So hard I couldn't breathe
I couldn't breathe through the tears that you caused
You left scars on my heart
Scars that are unseen
Scars that I'll have forever
Brokenness that will never fade
I didn't ask you why
I didn't ask you how
Why you broke my heart
How you cracked my shell
I built up walls to protect me
But they all came crumbling down
The first time I kissed your lips
You held my hips
Pulled me close
And promised never to leave
But you're gone now
So I'm a shell of who I used to be
Empty and strange
Thoughtless and caged
If anyone wants me now
They'll have to break through
The chains and locks that were placed after you.
