Because of You
By: RaeAnna G.
 
Because of you, I am a broken soul,
You thought you ruled me, just took me long to learn,
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
 
You put me down with your heart of coal,
Anything that I see of you, makes my stomach churn;
Because of you, I am a broken soul.
 
Despite it all, I learned how to crawl out of your hole,
I learned to be strong, that there was nothing I couldn’t upturn;
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
 
Your words cut so deep, soon enough they played such a role,
I couldn’t stomach you, your touch felt like a burn;
Because of you, I am a broken soul.
 
Overcoming the hurt, the doubts, oh what a toll;
Often I didn’t think I could, I was so used to the hurt, I had to be stern;
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
 
It all stopped the day I decided to take a stroll,
A new heart so gently grasped my broken one, I knew I could fix it all in turn;
Because of you, I am a broken soul,
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
