My 'Me'

I’m bleeding from the wounds you’ve made
They take my life, my breath
My heart encrusted with black spikes
I’m gasping, close to death
Those spikes they tear, they rip and shred
Cutting through and through
I tried to live, I tried to love
Ignore your cold abuse
I sit alone and ask myself
What is it I’ve done wrong
Why I’m screaming softly
To my confidence long gone
Why I’m blaming me
For all that is messed up
Why can’t I see my way
Past your cutting nonchalance
And now you’ll find me in my self
I try, but cannot say
My nerves are screaming, hopes are leaving
You took my ‘Me’ away
