Broken to Pieces

Broken down and beat to pieces.
You left me stuck with a mind of hungry thoughts.
Keeping lost without you there.

Carving out the good inside.
You kept up the charade long enough to please.
Ditched the ones whom love you most.

Ducked out within a mission.
You knew just when to give up everything.
Leaving behind not an atom.

Passed down and let gone.
You leant upon my person in times of being down.
Knocking me around within the end.

I tried to keep you happy.
I tried to please you well.
Nothing seemed to work.
Nothing seemed to help.

You kept on pushing.
You kept on pulling.
Wanting thoughts I didn’t process.
Wanting things I didn’t possess.

Here I stand strong and true.
Here I stand happy and stone.
There you are broken down.
There you are beat to pieces.

This life we live: ironic.
The life we live: cycles.
It’s the pain I felt.
It’s the pain you feel.
