At first, I couldn’t get through it,
Cause I didn’t want to lose myself,
But my heart took hit after hit,
And I was like a broken toy on a shelf,
Why tell me I’m beautiful and smart,
Then go to someone else the next day,
Why toy with an unsuspecting heart,
Then break it when it asked you to stay,
I was another soul for you to wreck,
I had no one there to pull me out,
Your love was a noose around my neck,
Choked me till I couldn’t beg or shout,
Stupid heart thought you would stop,
Stupid heart thought you would care,
But I was just a girl you would drop,
That was the stab of an illicit affair,
But I took your dagger, threw it aside,
Tended to every wound and every scar,
All of the love inside of me had died,
When I finally saw who you really are,
So I burned your presence in my mind,
Torched you till all that was left was ash,
I moved on and left that chapter behind,
Guess you could say, I took out the trash.
