Tears streaming down my face,
It looked like a chessboard
White and red
My eyes
Misty as fog
My throat
Burning like a fire
My heart
Hallow and cold
Like a vast wasteland
The life has gone out of me
The scars I have from protecting you
Are all for nothing
Used and thrown away like an old toy
Broken and shattered like fallen glass
Ugly, weak, rude, selfish
You say I am all of those things
You used to say
Loving, selfless, polite
He has made you turn
He blames me for what he did
You betrayed me and left me
You scoffed and sneered at me
You hurt me so
I still had my friends
They hated you
They saw me crying
And they listened to me
I loved them like a family
Then you twisted them
Made them break their oaths,
To never leave me
They laugh and giggle
They tell horrible, disgusting lies
That ruins people
They ruined me
They will ruin you too
So I left
I got a new life
I got a new family
I got a new love
I have to thank you and them
Because I now have friends that
Love me for who I am
Not for a façade
They understand me
They help me
They will never hurt me.
So this is goodbye
When they hurt you
Don't come crying to me
And expect me to hold you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to them
And meet the new me
The one who forgives and forgets
I can forgive you
But we will never
Go back
To what
We once
Were.
