Light

Lift me up,
Just to break me down,
Wipe my tears,
Only to push me to the ground

Soulless eyes,
Bleeding into my life,
Web of words,
Spun into a beautiful lie,
You don't love me,
You said you wished I would die,

You lift me up,
Only to slam me down,
Back to reality,
You've taken my crown,
How can I get over this?
Your love is like a bottomless lake,
And I can't swim,
You laugh at me while I drown,

Broken promises,
Empty words,
Constantly questioning my self worth,
You mock me,
Berate me,
Poison my soul,
Yet you sit here and ask,
"Why aren't you whole?"

Love shouldn't hurt,
But your love does,
I don't blame you,
You were never shown true love,
The epitome of a grown child,
Who never was safe,
I've tried so hard,
To help you through this race,

I gave you my everything,
My love,
My soul,
My time,
My spirit,
Only to be crushed,
My late night cries- do you hear it?

You love the idea of me,
Being this perfect robot,
Only I'm not,
It's okay my love,
Don't worry I'll be fine,
I'm going to leave you now,
It's time,

Time for me to gain myself back,
To find the true love that you lack,
I wish you well,
Even though you beat me,
I'll remember this as a life lesson,
That only I know how to treat me,

Goodbye broken one,
Goodbye broken love,
Goodbye lonely nights,
Goodbye darkness,
I don't want a fight,
I just want to find happiness,
So I'm leaving you behind,
I'm heading to the light.
