My body attempts to numb itself from the pain

But my aching heart pounds in frustration

The tears sting my already sore eyes

This day just won’t leave my over analyzing mind

The taste of him lingers in my dazed mouth

The feeling of his touch still pursues me

His artificial apology confuses me as I fall to the floor

He overwhelms my fragile state

To imagine it going even one step further is ghastly

I regret not being the one to end this

He abused me

He played with my mind as if it were of no importance

He used me

I gave to him so willingly

But he said he loved me...

... No

He didn't really love me

He loved the control he had over me

They’ve freed me from him

I keep the piece of paper keeping him away close to me

When they learned what kind of person he truly was

It was like stepping out of the shadows and into the beaming sun
