Here I go again, thinking
About the only person who traumatized me
In every way I’d never imagined
What in the world is happening to me?
Why does it come back every single time
I convince myself I’m unbothered and moved on ?
It feels as if the harder I try
The more my efforts seem futile
I can’t be happy with you as we all know
At the same time I’m miserable without you
You took from me everything I’d held dear
After it all, you still linger at the back of my mind
You’ve turned my dreams into your playground
I’d given everything that I had to offer
In return I got a slap in the face
Convince yourself that I was bad for you
Whereas the truth is you were a toxin
Determined to poison me for loving you
You drained the life out of me like a Wraith
Leaving me scarred, helpless and worthless
