Because Of You

i do not remember the shift          
it must have happened slowly          
spreading like a deadly disease          
           
in the beginning it was heaven          
he put me high on his throne          
and treated me like a queen          
           
he was a lost soul like me          
an artist, a poet, a wanderer          
a connection beyond compare          
           
till the shock: it was just sex          
           
(which i still don’t believe)          
           
slowly my brain got washed          
believing the fables i was fed          
ambivalent feelings imprinted          
           
you give your life a 7 out of 10          
don’t you see it’s just worth a 3          
         
my strength crushed and deleted          
my selfesteem killed and defeated  
degraded humiliated manipulated          
           
i gave you the benefit of the doubt          
when will i see you again?  i miss you          
you forget a lot, do you have dementia          
sorry sweety, will you forgive me please          
have you been tested for schizophrenia          
you are my fairy, you are mine forever          
           
forever his harsh words will linger          
Text: i will be in Spain for 2 weeks          
           
i still remember the weeks i waited          
the exact date that he came back          
the silence that lasted for days          
         
           
broken by a ruthless text          
           
____________________?          
           
a heart that stops          
a body that crashes          
           
the questions remain:          
am i nothing but a joke          
am i really that worthless          
was i just an object to use          
           
i still feel as if i never existed
