Name Help Please..

Looking through a mirror
Etched into my mind
Of my past that replays tainted time
People I've let in
Who weren't as kind
Bruised memories because I was blind..

I was nice to the wrong individuals
Years wasted , un-intentional
I want to forgive but it's so hard to forget
One day I'm fine,
The next I'm a wreck..

I let my heart do most of the talking
Knowing it can come with a price
Thinking if I give it my all
Everything will be alright..

It's like I've become numb
To the copious let downs
Just wanting that loyalty
That I am always about

But folks are so cruel
Selfish, showing no remorse
Taking advantage
Emotionally ignored

They say that they'll be there
Until they aren't
Now I'm left looking stupid
Picking up the broken parts

Taping them back together
Ever so gently, once again
Just because my heart is broken
Doesn't mean that it can't mend

I take it as a lesson
To not be so damn trusting
Instead, to love myself a little more
Especially when life gets bumpy

So I remind myself..
Broken is beautiful
And there's light in the dark
Just believe in yourself
And love who you are
