Betrayed

I'm just going to be real and raw here for minute. I wrote this at a time in my life when my heart was shattered. This poem still rings true.

Betrayed 💔

I gave you my heart and you broke it. I gave you my trust and you destroyed it. I gave you my body and you took it for granted. I gave you my love and you traded it for lust. I gave you my time and you spent it elsewhere. You are always on my mind, but your mind is not always on me. There's no amount of make up or weight loss or picture poses to satisfy your needs. I only look for you, but you aren't looking for me. I've given you multiple chances to restore what's lost with me but instead you used those chances to keep breaking me. When does the cycle end? When will the merry go round stop spinning? When will all that I've given, you be more than enough? My heart is still broken but i'm patching it up. There are cracks in the corners and blood keeps seeping. I want you to love me. I want you to need me. I guess it won't be long until you're leaving me. But I will become whole again and I won't feel as broken. I'm worth it to someone. Even if that someone isn't you.
