I am Ruined

Info

I embraced your thorns

and accepted the sting

they inflicted on my body,

but you turned cold

when I gave you warmth

with my petals.

I kissed your dark side

and let your demons in,

but you talked down on me

when I showed you mine.

I was on my knees

when arguments started to rise up,

but you turned your back at me when,

for the first time,

I stood up for myself.

I stayed patient and compliant,

I cried in silence just to prove you

I was strong enough to calmly

take your hurricane,

that I forgot to remind myself

that every storm comes to a massive mess right after...

and after you left,

I was completely ruined.

I am ruined.
