Crippled
I let you tear me up
Break me down blow by blow
All in the name of love
Because when it all comes down to it "Knicks and bruises are just trophy cups"
Your all I know
All I have
Thats why I'll let you tear my wings
Tug and tear at my heart's strings
Even when you've made my skin black and blue
Like a dog, I still crawl back to you
Even when you never apologize
Even when I know you see the tears in my eyes
And the blood you've spilt and the bones you've broken and
And yet despite all this, a sorry still goes unspoken
And another week goes by
And only now I ask why
Why did I let you made me a pawn to your schemes
When your love was nothing more then a distant dream
That left scarred and alone
With a heart too broken for a home
Well checkmate bitch
I'm taking back what's mine
My heart crippled, but still beating
My bruises swollen, but slowly receding
My body broken but alive
My mind no longer yours to drive
I may never be the same
These wounds may never heal
But this is the first and last time you will hurt me
My mind now a sword and poetry my shield
Break me down blow by blow
All in the name of love
Because when it all comes down to it "Knicks and bruises are just trophy cups"
Your all I know
All I have
Thats why I'll let you tear my wings
Tug and tear at my heart's strings
Even when you've made my skin black and blue
Like a dog, I still crawl back to you
Even when you never apologize
Even when I know you see the tears in my eyes
And the blood you've spilt and the bones you've broken and
And yet despite all this, a sorry still goes unspoken
And another week goes by
And only now I ask why
Why did I let you made me a pawn to your schemes
When your love was nothing more then a distant dream
That left scarred and alone
With a heart too broken for a home
Well checkmate bitch
I'm taking back what's mine
My heart crippled, but still beating
My bruises swollen, but slowly receding
My body broken but alive
My mind no longer yours to drive
I may never be the same
These wounds may never heal
But this is the first and last time you will hurt me
My mind now a sword and poetry my shield

True love will never leave you feeling abandoned and crippled. 💔
Here's hoping that your healer is just up around the bend over yonder, just waiting to soothe your wounded heart.
This serves as a reminder to be careful with whom you invest yourself within as not everyone is capable of giving love, when they take.
Life is just too short to endure unnecessary heartbreak to that extent !
*hugs*
