Poetry: Drowning In A Glass

You turn me insane then wonder how I got to that point
I was fragile when you met me but I'll be broken when you leave
Best believe you'll leave because in your mind I have become a monster
A monster you can't see that YOU have created
With every mold from the tight grip of your fingers, I became a distorted figure
A wrecking ball of destruction
Demolishing everything I touch all because of YOU
It's your hands that held my heart and with those same hands you crumbled it into a million pieces
How can I survive the pain of loving YOU
It's your words I hung onto until the last breath
Although the vision appeared crystal clear
It still wasn't clear enough to see through the deception
The greatest fear was how far you'd go
But now I know.. For YOU, there were no limits
So I drown my sorrows in this cup
Praying that by day the pain will ease
Because right now it all seems forgotten and forgiveness appears possible
But only for the moment
Morning rises and the sunbeams on my skin
And here we are again I'm drowning yet again in this glass
