Rip my heart out
throw it on the floor
the one i gave to you
still knowing i deserve more
more than you,
more than this,
more than the abuse,
In the back of mind I still
didn't want to let you go
fearing i would never find
someone...
someone that would want me again.
You broke me,
I only thought i was broken before
but now I am.
I really am damaged goods
because my trust is broken,
my heart is broken,
and so is my innocence.
But I choose not
to let you ruin my life,
to break me for life.
You may hurt me for now
but in twenty years
you will be a speck of dirt on
my life.
I will not let you break me,
I will use how I've hurt to make my life better,
you wont have an impact on me,
you are nothing to me.
Rip my heart out
throw it on the floor
I pick it up
put it back in its place
you will not defeat me.

GAH!!!! <3333333333333
Wow. You are seriously a phenomenal writer. I love this one as I love all your owrk but I would have to say that this one is my favorite. It for me was like drenching me in acid rain and then covering me in kisses light. It was beautiful and yet another prime of example of why I love poetry. Brava! -
Very nice, I actually feel this exact same way. My ex was a lot like you described, very mentally abusive and she somehow managed to convince me that I would never find any better than her and that if I let her go, I would never find another. But she was wrong and I'm 'slowly getting closure.' (Daughtry) Very nice, I really liked this piece.

Simply Amazing.
Brilliant indeed! I love the over all flow of it all and i've got to say i can feel this. I relate ever so much in so many ways. I love the way it starts off helpless and yet as you continue to read on it gets more firey and self motivated. Pushing your way through, knowing you will do better.
=] Amazing job.
"Rip my heart out

Great job Love. -
I can feel your pain
This is an intense poem with a great deal of emotional venting
just what the doctor ordered
Well done

Wow!
This is a really emotional poem. I like the way it works though. It seems to just flow along nicely. Don't worry, it will not take 20 years...maybe 20 days. Well Done! ~Peace~Gary -
Kicks Bunny
This one kicks. Sad right up until the poem stands up and takes charge. I like the line. "You will be a speck of dirt on my life" that's telling it kiddo. Good for you! Growth and moving onto new adventures.

damaged goods, love it.

A very well written poem. Such emotion and anger, yet also confidence. A wonderful write about a very disturbing situation. Very deep, must have been tough to write.
