To Whom It May Concern

you took my power when you took my heart

yet I gave it willingly

then you smashed it to pieces

like the windows that you broke

I now too am shattered

needing of a replacement the air gone from my lungs

like the tire you deflated

my voice isolated

just like I was the nights you made me stay away from them

my heart is a shell

so if you place me to your ear you'll still hear my waves crash for you against the sand

yet I don't understand

how could you do this to me

but how then could I do this to myself

allowing you to degrade me

deface me

changing who I was for you

changing me so I could make you happy

changing my life

but that wasn't enough

DEAR YOU:

I quit my job for YOU

I quit me for YOU

why couldn't YOU love me for who I was

was I not good enough

was I worthless as I was

how could YOU do this to me

how did I let YOU do this to me

DEAR ME:

I let you do this

my heart is too soft

yet if it wasn't we wouldn't be us

you've done this yourself

you let him ruin us

yet if you had the chance you'd do it again

why can't you be strong

why do you change yourself for those who won't change for you

maybe you're the problem

then again maybe that's just what makes you you

you shouldn't change who you are

your soft heart though makes you vulnerable

also makes you compassionate

your head is hard your mind is stone but your heart is your heart

soft breakable yet forever beating

so to whom it may concern me you or us

we did this we fix it

what's done is done
