Poem - Scab

I was down and wrecked and torn..
You met me cut and burned..
You patched me up and gave me love..
You left no stone unturned
in my heart.. You let yourself inside.
I wanted you to stay..
As much as it hurts.. Now I know..
You must do this just to play..

To you, I'm nothing but a scab.
I heal only for you..
And when I'm almost whole again
You pick and cut right through.

You never let me heal..
I fall for it.. This is true..
I only wanted happiness..
But that, to you, won't do..

A year has passed and still I stay..
Hoping things will be ok..
But I let you control my life..
It won't ever work that way.
And when I figure it all out..
You make me feel like shit..
I beg for forgiveness every time..
But now.. This is it..

I'm nothing but a scab to you.
I wish that things could change..
And still I love you constantly..
My feelings do not rearrange.

So I'm letting myself heal..
Without your pain in mind..
I hope you don't forget me..
But with me, you're already blind..

The scab on my heart will heal one day..
When it has.. I will know..
So until I'm strong enough to face you again..
It's time for me to go..
