I have tried to rebuild myself  from the pain you caused me.
I have tried to rebuild myself from the tears I cried on restless nights wanting you to call me.
I have tried to rebuild myself from the addiction I got from you.
I have tried to rebuild myself from the broken promises you told me every week.

And yet. I still listen to you
I still answer your calls
I still let you into my life. Why?

Because I hope one day you'll change.
I hope you'll wake up to the fact you destroyed my heart.
Please mom,
Help me rebuild me
Help me rebuild you
Help me rebuild US
