broken up

her heart was so invested in him
that she left her mind and her soul behind
she let him carve away her happiness
but steadily she remained by his side
she gave him everything that she had to give
while he spun lies in a thick web around her
she tried to help him with his problems
while he helped himself to the arms of another
she offered him love and he took without giving
harsh words and jealousy were his only ways
now she cries and aches for him, wishing that she could have been better, been more perfect
then maybe he would have stayed
she is yet incapable of seeing the pain and torment that he would forever bring to her life
she is only aware of the emptiness in her chest
where her heart should be
it's not so much the pain of cheating and lying and cruel manipulation
as it is the pain of knowing that despite the fact that the destruction is his
she's the only one that wants to stay
