I have to combat insecurities

I’m compromised

Like a bulging battery

I’m dead all the time

The words you sent me

They were a sharpened hook

The place you threw me against the wall

I can hardly look

Is this what you wanted

Is this what I’m in for

Is this all I’m worth

My mistakes ponder and rise above me

Your words fog my days

But your forgiveness

It makes me want to stay

So will you take my arms

And break them off

You don’t want to hold on

To anything

Will I regain my

Void of confidence

Cover all my scars

I’m in the palm of your hands

Is that what you wanted

Me face down on the floor

(Is that what you wanted)

I’ll never trust again

(Is that what you wanted)

With your words I shut the door

(Is that what you wanted)

You were my only friend

(Is that what you wanted)
