Why?

Your abuse cursed me; a part has died,
Now I will never be whole inside.

And now my true love is damned for him,
I ask you why you had to hurt him

Why did you choose my trust to destroy?
Did you think my heart was just a toy?

Do you not care what harm you have done?
You've caused this pain to more than just one.

You hurt us all you heartless addict
Asked us to support your damned habit

See, now my trust is always wary
Reasons for this do not vary.

You broke not just my heart, you must see
You damaged the deepest parts of me.

My soul is broken, deep and jagged
Fractured, hurt and much too haggard

If not for you, I would never doubt
Want his "I love you" is all about

I could love and trust and cry no more
I would not feel like a used up whore

You broke the once strong spirit in me
You left for him a shadow of me

With no remorse you used me and left
Yet you claim that you once welcomed death?

But the end you caused was not your own
The death of something you did not own

You know how much I once cared for you
But now I hold a hatred of you

Why did you take what you did not want?
Leave my soul empty for you to haunt?

You hurt him more than you could hurt me
Denied him the whole and complete me.

But once I felt you were not to blame
I have long since extinguished that flame

Now I do blame you for all of our pain
Wish I could just trust a man again

He deserves to be loved without fear
He deserves to be spared all the tears

He deserves a woman who is whole
He deserves a woman with a soul

Your memory is here forever
You're forgiven for it's pain… never.
