Three Years Later
I hope this finds you...
Three years later, when I first saw you
I fell in love with a person, one I thought I knew.
Your grin, dark hair, soul-aching eyes,
At first glance I couldn’t really see you were the devil in disguise.
You told me that you love me,
I laughed so hard I cried,
It was funny you thought you meant it,
Cause I knew it was a lie.
You had a bit of age on me, four-teen years to be exact,
I thought you would give me shelter, or comfort,
But you used it to attack.
“So young, you know nothing,”
Like I haven’t traveled a broken road
Alone before,
You kept me caged up, and some how
Got me begging you for more.
I did not know who I was; I was lost within you,
Every choice, everything, it was a decision you made too.
Where I went, what I did,
You were my roads and my trails
Everywhere I traveled led me back to you.
By myself, I was nothing, nothing old, nothing new.
But with you I was something,
Something tortured and abused.
I had completely lost my value,
Like a diamond in the rough,
Though I lost my outer shell,
I was still weak, and not tough.
The pain didn’t make me stronger,
It didn’t help me heal my soul,
It made me sicker and more worthless,
I felt the farthest thing from whole.
