You erased me
Slowly
Piece by piece
You tore away at my innocent heart
Knowing I held pain deep inside
You forced me to confront it
Without asking if I was ready
You placed your expectations upon me
The version of who you thought you saw
You envisioned a girl stronger than the pain
And although I have now become her
It is not because you helped me get past it
But because you cause it
Again and again
Heartache after heartache
And I left you behind
With all the memories of that pain
I have chosen to move forward
Yet you keep living in the
‘What ifs’
