Worth it

January 27, 2024

♡♡♡

"You left no room for me to breathe,
Left me suffocating in your toxins,
Left me a broken mess for others to see,
Left me questioning if I was ever worth it.

Your hand reached and twisted around my heart,
You toyed with me, broke me, used me,
Then when you finally had enough, you left me to bleed out,
Left me exhausted, left me pitiful, left me weak.

You never let me speak, you never let me weep,
Couldn't you see what you were doing to me?
You were someone dangerous wrapped up in a gorgeous gift,
Leaving me questioning if I was ever truly worth it.

You had no idea how much you meant to me,
No idea that you thought it was okay to push me away,
But I stayed and I waited as I watched you leave,
I waited and waited, hoping you'd come back to stay.

You had me in the palm of your hand,
So you crushed me into tiny bits,
You left me buried beneath the land,
And yet I still questioned if I was ever really worth it.

Was I never good enough for you?
My smile not bright enough when you couldn't even smile back,
Not good enough to be considered option number two,
My heart not pure enough which yours seemed to lack.

It still hurts after all this time,
Every waking hour, every passing minute,
Even with you out of my life,
I'm still questioning if I was ever truly worth it."
