Self Worth...

I feel like I don't know what that is anymore.
I used to think I was worth something,
And it took me so long to believe that.
Yet in a matter of moments,
You made me question it.
Am I really worth anything?

You toyed with me,
Made me believe you care,
And I really thought we had a connection.
We talked and laughed for hours,
Days,
Months.
Until you got what you wanted
and then you tossed me aside when you were finished.

I thought you were different
Because you celebrated me.
You built me up,
Complimenting my insecurities
and I think that's what hurt the most.

You told me all those things
That I can't help but think were beautiful lies
And that hurt me more.
Those insecurities magnified by your words.

My self worth crumbled
and here I am.
That little girl once again,
Scared
Rejected
Alone.
