Broken Glass

Loved you with all my heart
Trusted you with my life
How did I end up loving someone so much?
Where did things go wrong?

Was I not special enough?
Seeing you love her
Redo the things we did
Though it was different...
You loved it,
You loved her

Watching your eyes as you see her...
It hurts
I hear something break
It's loud
Like shattered glass

Like glass breaking on the floor
Glass.
I was like glass to you,
Loud
Vulnerable
Useless.

I wonder if you knew I was only like this for you
Everything for you
Let you use my body
I only loved my body because you left your touches on me

Seeing you touch hers
Broke everything
Burnt everything
Now I hate my body.

Yet I still miss every touch you gave me
How comforting it was.
Somehow I felt special
Now I'm broken glass
