Stronger

Folder: 
heartbreak

These are the tears I should've never cried

It wasn't your fault so does that makes it mine?

It wasn't supposed to be like this

Hell, it wasn't supposed to hurt this much.

I thought I learned my lesson the first time.

But every painful thought of you

Builds more hurt inside of me.

That I should have never known.



I'm ashamed of myself

Telling myself I'm stronger

When in the end I'm not.

I'm still the same girl who falls too hard, too quickly.

And when the pieces of me are scattered

I still don't know what to do with them,

How to pick them up.

And I hate everything about me,

Everything about this.

And I can't deal with it.



And I keep running

Even after every damn time I fall.

I keep wanting to start over

But I don't know any good that would do me.

I keep thinking what would happen if things were different

Wondering if I have enough strength to forgive you

And forgive myself.

I didn't miss the feeling of my heart breaking

I hate the idea of knowing the damage is familiar to me.

Because I'm so much stronger than that.

I'm so much stronger than this.
