How do I heal
When the broken part
Is so fundamental
To who and what I am?
Was I really that bad?
Did I deserve this?
To break so completely
Right to the core?
She took away
The last piece of me
That I actually liked
She took my self-worth
And my self-respect
And any hope I had
Of believing in myself
She crushed me
And I’ll never understand
Why and how it happened
Or why I still care
I’ll never get back
What she took away
That small little hole
She left in my soul
That still bleeds
No matter the cause
No matter the fault
I’m a bad judge of character
The problem is knowing
Whose character was lacking
I’m not sure it mattera
When I’m the only one still hurt
