Used To
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com


You used to be my pain,
Splitting what was whole.
You used to be the demon
Raging through my soul.
You used to hurt me badly;
For I allowed you to.
You wouldn't let me break away
From what I always knew.

                I'm trying to survive still
                Now that I am free.
                I hope that you regret, though,
                What you took from me.
                I hope it haunts your nights.
                I hope it gnaws at you.
                I hope that all the memories
                Won't let you get through.

For all you've done to me
Doesn't hurt just my life.
All the ones who love me
Suffer through the strife.
So now you're hurt so many,
And affected how they live.
Tell me something, though --
How much can you give?

                And how much longer can you
                Go on knowing that
                You ruined my life, took something special,
                And there's no turning back?
                How much longer will you live
                With those memories
                Of my tears pouring down
                As you tortured me?

You used to hurt me badly;
For I allowed you to....
But now I am away from that,
Finally pulling through....
