Torn

I hold my breath trying not to cry

You broke me once again

To believe I tried to be everything for you

I tried not to get all mushy

I faked a smile and a laugh or two

I wanted you to be happy

I thought you would stay

I told myself lies

So my sky wouldn’t seem so gray

I got told to get over you

But how can I

When you gave me so much to remember

I will always love you

Even if my heart gets destroyed

I cried and cried for you

But I guess it was all for nothing

I wanted you to see

What you do to me

But I guess I ask for too much

Or is it the fact

You’re not trying hard enough

I gave you my all

You watched me slip and fall

I guess I just wanted to believe

That there would always be you and me

People tell me its your loss

But what exactly are you losing...

A girl like me?

What’s so special about a girl like me?

People say I’m sweet and kind

Then why do I always get left behind?

People say I’m caring

Then why am I being called selfish

I know these are just words

That shouldn’t hurt

But coming from people that you thought cared

Does leave a burn..
