Ben Broken

you have broken me down
with just one word.
you have ceased to give the shit you never gave in the first place.
you have never cared.
I took a leap of faith,
I saw something in you
that wasn't really there.

you have never touched me,
I have never cared too much.
the things you say, say nothing about you.
it's what they say about me
that pulls these tears down my face
and it's what it means to not be loved
by someone who can't find love.
to not be able to find casualty with someone who cannot find it himself.
I am beneath the standards of someone who is below someone's standards.
I am lower than the low.
I am not good enough for you
and you have torn my confidence apart.

You are blind.
You have no clue how much you've hurt me.
I walked into this with my head held high,
I jumped into something with no doubts,
and you alone have made me doubt myself.

I need something now.
I need someone to love me.
I need someone to hold me.
I need to feel like something to someone,
like anything to anyone,
like anything but this.

while you can stand there
and be so blind
and continue
to tear me apart.
