The water hot
splashing against my skin
crawled in a ball
and I can't see
I can't think
I can't be
The never ending cycle
repeat and return
The tears and pain never end
Wanting to hurt
but I can't
I tell myself first
Old memories
haunting me
Ugly and shamed
The mirror shows a lie
A child so beautiful
Grew up to be this?
Someone pulled out my heart
and never gave it back
The never ending cycle
I'm repeating
I'm falling again
I try and lift myself up
climb up a few steps
only to stumble down again
the pillowcase stained
the floor filled with my fury
throwing in desperation
I try and hold in the screams
the never ending cycle
forever haunting me.

Good emotion in your words. Real pain showed though. That is my kind of read. I love to be able to feel what the writer feels and to relate with them. You have done well, I can relate for so many reasons. "Someone pulled out my heart and never gave it back" I reread the poem and find another and another line that hits home. Great penning, thank you.
